Photography teachers: book photo walks around the light

How photography teachers can book photo walks online: golden hour and blue hour slots, places per walk, meeting points, kit to bring and weather plans.

5 min read

A photo walk is timed by the light: golden hour, blue hour, a misty morning. Sunset moves through the year, so a fixed weekly time doesn't always work. With Book, you open photo walk slots at the right time for each date, set places to a group you can teach, and participants book on your own booking page.

Photo walk services

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

ServiceExample slotPlacesExample price
Golden hour photo walk2 h8€35
Blue hour city walk1 h 308€30
Sunrise landscape walk2 h 306€40
One-to-one camera lesson1 h 301€70

Durations, places and prices are examples: set your own.

Timing with the light

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. For walks that follow sunset, use short runs, such as a month at a time, and adjust the start time for the next run. Or open walks date by date. You create every slot, so each walk starts when the light is right.

Places and groups

Set places to a group size where you can help everyone with settings and composition. Each online booking takes one place, and a full walk leaves your page.

What the description should say

  • the exact meeting point and how long the walk covers;
  • what camera or phone works, and what to bring, such as a tripod;
  • the level the walk is for;
  • what happens in rain or heavy cloud.

What to ask in the note

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the camera model and experience, so you prepare tips for each person.

Weather

Say in the description whether walks run in light rain and what happens in bad weather. If you cancel or move a walk, do it from your list and tell participants yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes.

One-to-one follow-ups

Participants who want more can book a one-to-one lesson. See the guide on one-to-one camera lessons.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't take payments, sell gift vouchers, store photos or send reminders. Participants can't move or cancel online: they contact you. One booking page per business, no staff field. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
