Day 1: Saturday 13 June

Along the Canals
We’ll wander along some of Birmingham’s canals, focusing on how black and white photography can transform architectural and urban scenes. Reflections, leading lines, and subtle textures all take on new life in monochrome.

The Selfridges Building
We’ll walk towards the markets and arrive at the magnificent Selfridges building. Its curves, tones, and repeating patterns are perfect for abstract interpretations and expressive layering.
We finish at the characterful Moor Street Station, where its warm tones, vintage details, and strong lines offer a beautiful close to the weekend. We will finish at 4 pm.
