Engage the world through your camera! Looking to Photography as a Way of Life for inspiration, we’ll explore how photographer Harry Callahan found beauty in everyday moments during the years he lived and worked in Atlanta. In celebration of the High Museum’s Centennial, we’ll reflect on the ways photography can help us see both our city and our personal histories with fresh eyes. Then we’ll set off on a guided walk around the museum campus and surrounding Midtown neighborhood, following a series of photography prompts inspired by Callahan’s attentive observations of place, light, and daily life. Afterwards, we’ll return to the museum to share our work and reflect on our experiences. Choose your favorite photograph from the day to print and mat, and leave with a deeper connection to your craft, the city, and the High’s enduring relationship with photography.

About Photo Walks
Photo Walks are beginner-friendly photography experiences inspired by artworks on view at the High. They are open to all skill levels and any type of camera, including smartphones. Registrants are responsible for bringing their own cameras; all other supplies will be provided. These guided walks encourage participants to slow down, observe closely, and explore new ways of seeing through their camera or smartphone lens. Photo Walks are designed for adults, but all ages are welcome. This program is offered three times.
