Duration: approx. 90–120 minutes
Lens Rule: One lens only – 35mm or wider (full-frame equivalent). The wilder, the wider!
This photo walk is all about seeing Basel from bold new angles. Armed with nothing but one wide-angle lens, we will explore how these focal lengths can completely shift your approach to street and urban photography. Whether you're working with a classic 35mm, a 24mm, or going full - hyper wide (10mm) or fisheye, this is your chance to challenge your composition skills, get closer, and embrace distortion as a creative tool.
We’ll walk through some of the most dynamic and architecturally diverse areas around Messeplatz, including:
- Modern structures and lines that bend and warp beautifully through a wide lens
- Crowded tram stops, tight corners, and alleyways – perfect for immersive storytelling
- Opportunities for in-your-face street shots, dramatic foregrounds, and layered scenes
This is also a great exercise in limiting gear to boost creativity: no switching lenses, no zooming in – only moving your feet, reacting fast, and embracing the scene.
