Whether you’re a photography pro, a camera amateur or you just want to get that killer shot for Instagram, Nottingham is a great place to get some superb snaps. The city is pretty as a picture, with a huge variety of beautiful architecture and new and intriguing things to discover around every corner – making it a perfect playground for those who are dipping their toe into the world of apertures and aspect ratios.
If you're looking to make a day of it, Nottingham is full of wonderful cafés and restaurants offering takeaway food and drink to help keep your energy up. We recommend finishing off with some sweet treats from the Pudding Pantry in the afternoon.
Begin your walk at the Nottingham Playhouse and experiment with light, angle and reflection in Anish Kapoor’s iconic Sky Mirror. Don’t forget to take some photographs of the ornate architecture of nearby Edwardian music hall, the Albert Hall, too.
Next, head towards the Robin Hood Statue. Why not try taking photos of our famous outlaw from different angles, exploring depth and focus?
Just down the road is another picture-perfect spot: Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, the oldest inn in England. This ancient building is built into the side of Castle Rock, and just beyond it you can see the stately Nottingham Castle watching over the city. If you head around the corner onto Castle Boulevard you’ll get a spectacular view of the sandstone caves in the rock, too – a great place for experimenting with light and shadow.
Stroll towards the nearby Nottingham Canal to get those beautiful waterside shots. You can capture the rippling reflections of the canalside buildings, such as the majestic Grade II listed British Waterways Building, and the ducks are generally happy to pose for photos too.
Of course, you can’t do a photo walk in Nottingham without taking some pictures of the beating heart of the city, Old Market Square. Get plenty of shots of the famous domed Council House – why not try photographing it through the splashes of water from the fountains? – and experiment with quirky angles of the iconic lions.
You won’t be able to resist photographing the magnificently gothic Prudential Assurance Building on the junction of King and Queen Street just across the Square, now a fitting home for the darkly decadent Alchemist cocktail bar and restaurant.
Another Instagram-friendly spot is the row of brightly coloured buildings in the secret alleyway Hurts Yard, whilst on the opposite side of the Square you’ll want to get a snap of the elegant winged horse which guards the entrance to Flying Horse Walk.
Head down Bridlesmith Gate towards Nottingham Contemporary to get a close-up of the lace pattern detail on the side of the building, before continuing down High Pavement to photograph the imposing grandeur of the National Justice Museum and the stunning St Mary’s Church, the largest medieval building in the city.
Meander around the ancient streets and looming redbrick mills of the Lace Market (the Birkin Building and Adams & Page Building are particularly photogenic) before strolling into the vibrant and lively district of Hockley, where you can get some great shots of the street art, the secret alleyways and the colourful rainbow road.
