About our Photo Tours

Adventures thru the Lens Photo Tours are Urban Adventures. The goal is for travelers to:


• Discover and experience a city through the eyes of a local photographer.
• Encourage the observation of new viewpoints and interesting details which might easily be overlooked.
• To improve photography technique.
• To have a more interesting experience and involvement when visiting a city.
• Have fun
 

Our English-speaking Photographers have in-depth local knowledge, a passion for their city and for the art of photography. Photographers are carefully selected for their breadth of style and experience in either travel or photo-documentary/reportage.
So bring your camera and be prepared to walk, shoot and click


Half Day Photography Adventures Tours in
Chicago

Some of the things you will learn:

We’ll start at North Avenue Beach, Chicago's busiest beach where the greatest attraction is people-watching. We’ll photograph runners, cyclists and inline skaters on the lakeshore path, as well as an outdoor mini fitness center and roller hockey rink.

We stroll along the lakeshore to the Magnificent Mile and photograph numerous prestigious buildings such as the Wrigley Building, the John Hancock Center, and Chicago Landmarks such as Tribune Tower and the Allerton Hotel.

From the Chicago River we’ll pass the famous Marina Towers and many swing bridges spanning the river. Along the Chicago Loop we’ll stop at the single-most-famous sculpture in Chicago, Pablo Picasso's Untitled, before seeing Cloud Gate and the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park.

En route to Grant Park and past the Art Institute, you‘ll see an impressive great wall of buildings from Randolph Street south to Congress Parkway that architecture buffs refer to as the "Michigan Avenue Cliff." Then finally into Grant Park modeled after the gardens at Versailles, you’ll photograph giant lawns segmented by allées of trees, plantings, paths, and Buckingham fountain, twice the size of -- the Latona Fountain at Versailles.
