About the Instructor

Forrest D. Walker is an American street and documentary photographer from
Portland, Oregon, currently traveling the world full time. Known for his bold
use of color, unposed storytelling, and relentless curiosity, Forrest has spent
over five years walking through more than 100 major cities across 70
countries, averaging 20 kilometers a day to capture the raw, candid rhythm of
urban life.

His signature project, the 100 City Project (Big City, Small World), explores
the beauty of everyday human moments across global cities. From Manila to
Istanbul, Johannesburg to Buenos Aires, Forrest finds common threads in
vastly different places, revealing the soul of city life through honest, immersive photography.

Forrest’s work has been exhibited internationally and featured in publications and platforms such as Street Photographers Foundation and Inkef. He has been invited to speak at photography festivals, universities, and community events in more than 10 countries, sharing insights from his journey and visual philosophy.

A self-taught photographer, Forrest is driven by the belief that the best photography comes from walking, observing, and engaging without influence or interruption. His approach is rooted in presence, empathy, and patience, capturing stories as they unfold without staging or interference.

Through his work and workshops, Forrest encourages photographers to see beyond the obvious, to connect with the environment, and to find meaning in the in-between moments. Whether on the streets of New York or a hidden alley in Bangkok, his images reflect a deep love for exploration and a fearless commitment to the human story.
