If you’ve never been on a photowalk before, you probably imagine one of two things. Either: A deeply serious group of people silently photographing brick walls while discussing focal lengths… Or: Twenty-seven people in expensive jackets fighting over the same pigeon.

As photographers, we often describe the process in terms of instinct. Seeing. Reacting. Responding. But another vocabulary lurks beneath the surface. Hunting. Stalking. Sniping. Words that imply distance, control, and extraction. They reveal an uncomfortable truth about power and proximity. About who is observed and who gets to walk away unchanged.
