Hey friends, it’s Bob your unofficial street photography tour guide and camera nerd buddy. I know a lot of you see event listings like Henry’s Photo Walks popping up around Toronto — they’re great community events where photographers meet up, explore a neighbourhood together, and learn photography skills hands-on. Henry’s runs these group photo walks and workshops throughout the year, often tied to its store events and educational series where you can learn camera settings, composition, and creative techniques.
But here’s a little secret from Bob: you don’t need to register or pay for a structured walk to learn how to use your camera and discover killer shots in the city.
But here’s the thing I want to be crystal clear about:
Bob Photo Walks Are 100% FREE
No tickets.
No registration.
No payment.
No sales pitch.
You don’t need to buy anything. You don’t need the latest camera. You don’t even need to know what half the buttons do yet.
You just show up.
Why Walking With Bob Is Different
When you go out on a walk with Bob, you’re not getting a classroom lecture. You’re getting real-world street photography, the way it actually happens.
We walk.
We stop.
We look.
We talk.
And along the way, you get Bob’s secrets to a great street photo — the stuff you don’t usually find in manuals.
Bob’s Street Photography Secrets (Yes, I Share Them)
On a Bob walk, you’ll learn things like:
How to see a photo before it happens
Where the light really is (even on a grey Toronto day)
When to wait — and when to move fast
How to photograph people without being awkward
Why confidence matters more than gear
How to get out of Auto without panic
These are the little tricks picked up from years of photo walks, missed shots, great shots, and “oh wow, I didn’t expect that” moments.
Any Camera. Any Level.
Phone.
Old DSLR.
Mirrorless.
Manual lens.
Auto mode survivor.
Everyone is welcome. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s learning how your camera works in the real world, not just reading about it.
What You Pay With Instead of Money
You pay with:
Curiosity
Willingness to try
A bit of walking
A love for the streets of Toronto
That’s it.
Why I Do It
Street photography shouldn’t feel locked behind tickets, fees, or intimidation. The city is already free. Learning to see it differently should be too.
So if you want to learn your camera, take better street photos, and hear a few Bob stories along the way…
Just go out with Bob.
It’s free.
And you’ll never look at the street the same way again.
Just say the word 📸🚶♂️
