Zurich's Architecture Walk

Architecture Photography
Exploring Zurich's Urban Landscape Through the Lens

In this workshop, you’ll dive into the captivating world of architecture photography. You'll learn the essential principles of this genre from both a technical and practical perspective. The focus will be on hands-on experience, capturing the urban beauty of Zurich. The route is aprox. 3,5km long and we will walk through an inspiring neighbourhood.

Together, we’ll explore the challenges of photographing buildings and structures in public spaces — mastering composition, light, and perspective. You’ll also gain confidence in working with your surroundings and develop the ability to create stronger, more intentional images. Your instructor Alba, from atraverstesyeux_ will share useful tips and tricks for dealing with difficult conditions, such as rain or low light, so you can keep shooting regardless of the weather.

We will end our walk at Kunsthaus Bar around 12h30, where you'll have the chance to ask Alba for constructive image review and constructive feedback.
