Porto Film Photography Excursion
Porto Film Photography Excursion
The dynamic street life, diverse architectural styles, street art-laced buildings, thriving music scene, delectable restaurants and creative community of Porto has long held a special place in our heart. Beyond what is known in “insider” guidebooks to the Portuguese capital are individuals and clandestine street corners that reveal a city you never knew, and which provide a deeper insight into the city and what makes its denizens tick.
Porto, the refined older sister of the extraverted Lisbon, is an adorably hilly city on the cusp of the Atlantic. It is distinctly European without the pretentiousness of Paris and London; effortlessly cool without the contrived scenes of Berlin and New York. The Douro River cuts through the city, while seven UNESCO-protected bridges intersect swathes of cafes, wine bars, nightclubs, galleries, museums, and clandestine cultural gems. I was engulfed in Porto's laissez faire character and charming streets, which were almost reason enough to play hooky on the wine and seafood calling my name from the Douro Valley. But outside the city, a world of thermal springs, local tascas (taverns), and undeniable calm beckoned.
Eat. Drink. Wander. Repeat. Top-notch seafood and daily caught fish are commonplace along the coast, as are surfers in wetsuits and Baroque-era churches. On Saturdays, many of the small towns throughout the region host flea/antique markets (feiras) selling all sorts of knickknacks, zeitgeist items, and vintage treasures that are splurge-worthy without being too expensive. I returned home with 1970's coffee mugs, handmade aloe vera soap (a Portuguese staple), and five bottles of Taylor's Fine White Port (please don't inform the authorities).
The Eager Tourist Porto Film Photography Excursion will bring you into private art studios, cultural sites and thriving neighborhoods led by local photographers who offers expert guidance into the various approaches, techniques and outcomes rendered by film photography formats whilst providing a deep understanding into the Western European metropolis on the Atlantic.
Ideal for both beginner or advanced photographers, Eager Tourist - Porto Film Photography Excursion is a walking tour led by a local city insider and professional photographer who will arm participants with a 35mm camera containing a roll of film with 36frames and visit a range of sites from Porto most iconic architectural buildings to private art and design studios inhabited by local creatives, and other fashionable arteries, all through the lens of photography.
The two-hour urban walking excursion includes guided explanations into the art of film photography, its advantages and artistic qualities that create a nostalgic feeling and emotional quality.
Following the tour’s completion, Eager Tourist will develop your roll of film and email you a link to the images.
