About the event
Join us for an evening of photography, creativity, and community as we explore Ponsonby from golden hour through to after dark.
Starting at Sony NZ HQ, we’ll head out together for a relaxed photography walk through Ponsonby and surrounding areas. Capture the changing light from sunset into the evening while exploring urban photography, composition, and creative storytelling.
After the walk, we’ll return to Sony NZ HQ for food, image selection, editing, and a casual group discussion. Bring your laptop if you’d like to edit alongside us, or simply sit back, watch, and join the conversation as we share images and creative ideas.
This event is perfect for photographers of all levels — whether you’re looking to meet other creators, explore Auckland with your camera, practise shooting in changing light, or simply spend an evening creating and sharing photography.
