Charleston isn’t just one of the most beautiful cities in America—it’s one of the most complicated.
In this episode of Photowalks, I take you through the cobblestone streets, pastel homes, and waterfront views that make Charleston a photographer’s dream. But this isn’t just about pretty pictures—we’re also diving into the real history behind the beauty, from the American Revolution to the role Charleston played in slavery.
We’ll walk through iconic spots like Rainbow Row, the Battery, and the historic district, meet locals, explore Lowcountry food, and wrap it all up with practical tips on how to capture it all with your phone.
If you’re planning a trip—or just want to see one of America’s most photogenic cities—this is your complete guide.
This is another edition of our America 250 series that began in Boston and continued through Providence and Newport, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, Dc. See the complete playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNqFHToBXRfcUApPOdUDkYtvLKzxai_jL&si=vWKmLIZsEHxO5f0G
