What makes it different

A city walk with a skill you keep.

Most city experiences help you learn about a place. This one also changes how you see one. At each stop, you practise one clear photography decision while the scene is still in front of you.

The value is expert route design, small-group coaching, local context, individual feedback, and habits you can use on every future trip.
