What we’re about
Sydney Street Photographers aim to promote street photography and cultural engagement through practice and discussion.
This group is all about engaging intimately with the world around you in an attempt to capture the unfamiliar in the familiar, to find the unseen in the mundane.
It's about getting out onto the streets with equally passionate people and creating an invaluable social network, to improve your photography skills, without possibly feeling awkward or intimidated by the environment/ subjects.
If you like the sound of street photography then join up, it's going to be rewarding, and best of all, fun walking the streets of Sydney with camera in hand, and enjoying a nice coffee after an event to ask those question you have always wanted to ask a fellow photographer.
Assistant Organisers can organise Meetups and members can suggest Meetups that will occur if sufficient members would like to attend. Infrequently there is a clash of events and members have a choice of which event to attend. SSP prefer to provide a variety of opportunities to shoot rather than limit the choice to the first available event.

Love Is In The Air Drone Show 2024The Actual Drone show will start around 9 pm (timing is not exact ) and will last between 10 and 15 minutes
Due to the popularity of the show we will need to get into position well before the start of the show.
The Cahill Express way walkway above Circular Quay represents the best location to watch, film and Photograph the event. I will aim to get there by 6:30 6:45pm and get to the middle where both the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House are visible. It will be a long wait but obviously a worthwhile one. You can take the opportunity to explore shooting night photography along both sides of the walkway. Also bring some snacks.
** important **
Public transport will NOT stop at Circular Quay during the long weekend so you need to get to Circular quay on foot.To get to the Walkway there are 3 approaches;
- From the lift at the eastern side of Circular Quay. It is opposite the Cafe Gigi at Circular Quay.
- From the Bridge stairs at The Rocks, it is also the start of the Harbour Walk.
- From the Royal Botanic Garden Northern section along Macquarie street.
