What is Uptown Photowalk?

Uptown Photowalk is a gathering of photographers based in Uptown, NYC, focused on capturing captivating New York City streets and being with fellow photo enthusiasts. The walks are usually led by Emmanuel Abreu @eabreuvisuals and Carlos Deschamps @cinematicheights , with some guest take overs at times like Jennyfer Parra @turnthepicto who ran our first ever femme walks. It is a community that welcomes anyone who is interested in photography in any way.

Uptown Photowalk started when 3 photographers met up in 2013 to walk around Washington Heights and Inwood. After the walk, Emmanuel Abreu named the folder that stored that day’s photos “Uptown Photowalk.” Throughout the next few years, Emmanuel and other photographers met Uptown on various walks, and in 2017, Carlos Deschamps convinced him to do it more consistently. They have set up monthly meet ups since then, and have walked around neighborhoods in Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. The goal always is to be a welcoming space for anyone interested in photography as any part of their life, whether it be a hobby, school, profession. All ages are welcomed, and all routes are accessible.

Uptown Photowalk comenzó cuando 3 fotógrafos se reunieron en 2013 para caminar por Washington Heights e Inwood. Después de la caminata, Emmanuel Abreu nombró a la carpeta que almacenaba las fotos de ese día "Uptown Photowalk". En de los siguientes años, Emmanuel y otros fotógrafos se uneron a tomar photos de el alto Manhattan en varias caminatas, y en 2017, Carlos Deschamps lo convenció de hacerlo de manera más consistente. Han organizado reuniones mensuales desde entonces, y han caminado por vecindarios en Manhattan, El Bronx, Brooklyn y Queens.
