Become a Foto Walk Host
Help bring the Foto community to life in your city.
Host casual photo walks, meet new people, and support real-world creativity.
What is a Foto Walk?
A Foto Walk is a casual, inclusive gathering of photographers who meet up to walk, shoot, and connect in real life. There are no rules, no competitions, and no pressure—just people who love photography coming together to explore their local area with fresh eyes.
Walks can be small or large, quiet or social, digital or analog—everyone is welcome. Whether you’re shooting film, phone, or digital, Foto Walks are about slowing down, being present, and building community through shared creative energy.
Why host a Foto Walk?
Foto Hosts are the heart of our global movement. When you organize a walk in your city, you’re helping create space for creativity, connection, and new friendships to thrive.
As a host, you’ll:
Bring local photographers together around a shared love of image-making
Be listed on the Foto website & Global Foto Walk Map as part of our worldwide host network
Help shape a healthier, more human-centered photo community—both online and off
You don’t need to be a professional photographer or have a huge following—just a willingness to show up and bring people together.
What we provide.
We’ve made it easy for anyone to host. When you join the network, you’ll get:
A Host Toolkit with tips, ideas, and walk templates
Access to promotional graphics and templates to announce your walk
You’ll also be added to a private group chat just for Foto Walk Hosts, where you can connect with other organizers around the world, swap ideas, and get support.
Featured on the Global Foto Walk Map and walk calendar
You’re not doing this alone—we’re building it together.
How much time does it take?
Hosting a Foto Walk is simple, low-pressure, and totally flexible. Most walks last about 2 hours, and we ask hosts to aim for one walk per month.
Ideally, we’ll have multiple hosts in each area, so hosts can rotate and keep happening even if someone gets busy, sick, or needs a break. It’s all about showing up when you can and keeping the spirit of community alive.
We’ll support you either way.
