Creative photography backdrop startup Foto-Ruta has announced the launch of a London branch in June 2014. Combining street photography with city exploration and creative seeing, Foto Ruta is the self proclaimed saviour of photography, offering a range of experiences, workshops and tours which aim to make inspired photographers of us all through a range of dynamic, sociable and original experiences, opening people’s eyes to their surroundings and encouraging them to explore London in a new and unique way.

Launched in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2011, and now with branches in Santiago, Chile, Barcelona, Spain as well as pop-up events in New York, Foto Ruta’s mission is clear; to enhance the explosion of digital image capturing and sharing brought about by camera-phones and social media, raising the bar on creativity and quality whilst encouraging team-work and social interaction over virtual interaction.

Foto Ruta offers a fresh approach to photography tuition via a range of interactive, informative and affordable experiences that are as perfect for tourists on a first visit as they are for Londoners wanting to rediscover their city.
