About the event

Join me on a winter walk and meet-up in Auckland CBD!

Photographers, videographers and creatives of all ages and levels of experience are welcome to attend. As this is a casual event there won't be any formal techniques covered on the night - the aim is to bring the local photography community together.

If you're just starting out in photography and looking to make new friends in the local scene, or simply keen to catch up with others and talk about all things photography, then this is the event is for you!

Itinerary

5PM: We'll all meet at the Concrete Memorial Beacon at Quay Street Waterfront.
