Forrest Walker

Starting March 1st, 2021: Exclusive New Content released at least twice a week (+ more!) Hello, Everyone. My name is Forrest Walker, and I am a published professional photographer behind the Major City Project, a non-stop 5 year work photographing over 105 Major Cities across 75 countries, candid and unposed. I’m honored and humbled by how many photographers, travelers and readers who have been inspired around the world (150+ countries) to follow my work and blog, Shooter Files, where I’ve been providing a variety of content connected to my work the past years. Here on Patreon, I’m excited to bring you a whole array of exclusive new educational content, videos and services.  Why Am I On Patreon? Because Patreon allows me to focus on the creativity of staying true to my vision with photography, while providing you with as much valuable and unique content as possible. The type of content I wish had been available to me. Can I see some of your work? Of course! If you’re not familiar with my blog ShooterFiles.com, instagram (@fdwalker) or any of my photography work, here is a link to my portfolio too. Here’s a Quick Breakdown of What I Will Be Providing You Here on Patreon: (for specifics, review each tier’s benefits) The Premier Patron Tier will be for most.

(Or just go straight to the tiers and let’s get started!) All the best, Forrest Walker What makes my Patron Content Unique? There are plenty of photography videos out there on youtube, most of them being the same with little value on actually making good, uniquely interesting photos. I want to provide creative content that is unique and valuable from the experience of someone that can do just that. I'm a published photographer with work that's been awarded across all major street photography festivals. I've given talks at photography festivals around the world, along with leading workshops and more. In other words, instead of a YouTube personality without the photography work to show, I'm coming from a place where it's about the photography work and I show it. I'll bring you into my photography world on top of helping you learn. No one else has covered the amount of cities and countries I have, or in the way that I do. I’m obsessed with unposed photography and truly care about the art, skill and content of it. I’m not about the photography trends, but about making an interesting photo above all else. This is a place for those that care about the same and truly want to learn. Here, it's content over formula, both in photography and the video content I create.  Joining a tier gets you instant access to everything ever posted in that tier - and everything new from that moment forward. Some of the content, services and rewards you can only find here: Exclusive Video content.

I’ve been running and posting on my website Shooter Files for over 5 years now, creating the top ranked street photography blog in the world.
