About This Walk
Join us for a photography adventure that begins at the iconic Riverwalk. We’ll start with a leisurely stroll down the walk. Afterwards we will make our way down 1st Avet, where you’ll have the chance to capture the charm and character of this beloved area. As we explore, you’ll find numerous opportunities to snap photos, whether it’s the picturesque river views or the view from the various Bridges, this area offers a variety of angles and perspectives for your shots.
After our photographic journey, we’ll gather for an optional lunch at the Oak & Stone. This will be a great time to share your favorite captures, discuss techniques, and exchange tips with fellow photographers. It’s also an opportunity to participate in a few fun giveaways, making the day even more memorable.
This event is open to photographers of all skill levels, so whether you’re a seasoned pro or just love snapping pics on your cell phone, you’ll fit right in. It’s the perfect chance to meet new friends who share your passion for photography, all while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Bradenton. Don’t miss out on this unique blend of creativity, camaraderie, and coastal charm!
A little about me… fearless walk leader:
Hey there! I’m Joe, the guy behind the lens at Shutter Speak Photography.
When I’m not soaking up the sun and snapping pictures of families having the time of their lives on the beautiful Anna Maria Island, you’ll find me geeking out over photography at my educational site, Shutter Speak (https://shutterspeak.net/).
It’s where I spill all the secrets I’ve learned, from my time in the Big Apple to my adventures on this sunny slice of paradise. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just trying to figure out which way to point the camera, there’s something there for you.
I look forward to meeting you on our walk.

Sorry – it would seem the link for the trial of Imagen and the 1500 free edits got lost as it traveled the internet.

Change of Plans! Let’s stroll the Riverwalk…September 29th, 2024
I hope this message finds you well. Unfortunately, due to the significant damage caused by Hurricane Helene, Bradenton Beach is currently closed to the public. Given the circumstances, I have made the decision to move our walk to downtown Bradenton for a scenic stroll along the Riverwalk.
I believe you will enjoy this new location just as much as Bradenton Beach, and I look forward to seeing you there for a wonderful time together.
Thank you for your understanding, and I can’t wait to see you soon!
Regards,
Joe – your fearless walk leader
Hurricane HeleneSeptember 28th, 2024
As I am sure you are aware, the damage to the Bradenton Beach area from Hurricane Helene was substantial. As of today, the area is open to residents only, and much of the island is still without power.
I remain hopeful that the island will reopen by the date of our scheduled walk. However, should it remain inaccessible, we will select an alternate location for our session. I will keep you updated as we approach the date.
Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to meeting you on our walk.
Best regards,
Joe
