Isle of Wight Photo Walks R Us

Walking our way through the photographic world of the Isle of Wight, we discovered a gap in the Isle of Wight Walking Festival, which has inspired us to launch our own Photo Walks across the Island.

Open to anyone who wants  to get a little more from their photography ‘Photo Walks’ are not about competition but a  good way on getting other like minded people together to take photographs. Continue reading
