Instagram Photography Tour through Uptown Charlotte
Overview
This will not only be a photography tour of Downtown Charlotte, but also a learning experience. With our knowledge of the area (born and raised), we will take guests to beautiful locations around Uptown for them to take photos with their camera or we can take pics with ours. Guests will also learn about their camera along the way and receive useful tips on getting a better picture with whatever device they have. From composition to lighting and exposure, we will explain the fundamentals of photography while guests explore and soak up all the culture and southern charm Charlotte has to offer.
We strongly recommended booking this experience at the beginning of your visit so we can steer you to the best spots for food and entertainment while you're here.
After our tour concludes, we will suggest many tailored options of outstanding food and entertainment. We want guests to walk away from this with some good pics, being more comfortable with their cameras, and a few new friends.
