Unpublished Africa Photo Walks

Photo walks have been picking up momentum, bringing together people who love telling stories through images. Each one feels a little bigger, a little more vibrant, and it’s been amazing to see how much creativity comes out of simply walking and shooting together. If you missed the last ones, go back and take a look they’re a reminder of just how much beauty and perspective we can capture when we do this as a community.
