Opportunities + Photography Feature #23
Nairobi Photo Walk
Our Photo Walks continue to grow, and last weekend we were thrilled to host one in Nairobi.
Nairobi's vibrant streets and dynamic creative energy made it the perfect backdrop for photographers to meet, connect, and share their perspectives. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and became part of the Unpublished Africa community.
These Photo Walks are more than just strolls with cameras, they’re spaces for collaboration, learning, and new friendships.
Take a look at some of our previous Photo Walks:

As you step back behind the lens, remember that what you capture is more than what’s in front of you it’s a reflection of how you see the world, and that is rare, that is needed. Carry this with you: your art holds weight, your voice carries light, and your perspective matters. Until the next frame, keep noticing, keep creating, and know that you’re never creating alone you’re part of this circle, always.
