About This Walk
The Worldwide Photowalk is back for 2024!
Join us for the annual Worldwide Photowalk in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico! After a successful return last year, we’re back again for an exciting day of photography, creativity, and community. Hosted by Pedro Lopez, a longtime leader of photowalks in Puerto Rico, and Regan Shorter, this year’s walk promises to be an inspiring experience for all.
The photowalk will kick off at 8:30 AM in the heart of Old San Juan, where we’ll explore the city’s historic streets, capturing its unique charm through our lenses. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, everyone is welcome to join. Bring any camera—DSLR, mirrorless, or even your phone—and be part of a community that shares your passion for photography.
This year’s walk is sponsored by Adobe Lightroom, and we’re thrilled to offer you the chance to edit your photos on the go! You’ll also get to explore Lightroom Mobile’s newest features, including Generative Remove and Lens Blur. Plus, Regan Shorter will be sharing an exclusive Lightroom preset with all attendees.
The goal of this photowalk is simple: have fun, learn, and connect with fellow photographers! Let’s come together, learn from each other, and enjoy a day of photography in the vibrant setting of Old San Juan.
Meet the Leaders
Pedro Lopez is a seasoned photographer and long-time leader of photowalks in Puerto Rico. Having led the Worldwide Photowalk for many years before its brief hiatus during the pandemic, Pedro’s passion for photography has taken him around the globe, beginning with his trusty Nikon film camera. His deep love for the craft and his extensive experience make him a beloved figure in the local photography community.
Regan Shorter is a photographer and content creator based in Puerto Rico. She led the Worldwide Photowalk last year, where she first met Pedro. Regan is known for her vibrant photography, often combining her photography skills with video, creating animated portraits and stop-motion. During the walk, she will assist with photo editing in Lightroom, sharing valuable tips and tricks with participants.
Adobe Lightroom
This year’s walk is sponsored by Adobe Lightroom, a powerful photo editing app for your phone, tablet, and computer.
We encourage you to install Lightroom mobile onto your phone or tablet before the walk.
If you’re new to Lightroom, you can participate with a free 7-day trial.
Download the app and start you trial on October 3rd or 4th so you can join in the fun!
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the walk be in English or Spanish?
The walk will be in both English and Spanish. Pedro can assist in Spanish, while Regan can help in English.
Where will we meet?
We will meet at the far end of Paseo de la Princesa, near the fountain. If you’re unsure where this is, you can look for “Fuente Raices” on Google Maps.
Where should I park?
There are many parking garages in Old San Juan. The most affordable parking option is Estacionamiento La Puntilla, which is right next to La Puntilla. Be aware that this fills up quickly in the mornings.
You can also park in Multipiso Dona Fela, Estacionamiento Paseo Portuario, or Multipiso Covadonga.
Make sure to arrive with enough time to find parking and walk to the starting location.
How long is the walk?
We will walk for approximately 1.5 hours.
What should I wear?
It is warm and humid in Puerto Rico, so make sure to wear something comfortable during the walk and bring sunscreen. The streets of Old San Juan are often uneven, so comfortable and supportive shoes are encouraged.
What should I bring?
Bring yourself and a camera! You don’t need to be a professional to come to the walk. Your camera can be as simple as your phone.
Have fun photography tools or equipment? Feel free to bring it along to show the other walkers.
Are we doing anything after the walk?
After the walk, we may get something to eat or go somewhere together. We’ll chat during the walk and decide then!
We can’t wait to see everyone there!
