Scene Festival 2026 🎉
Meet new photographers, make connections and get out shooting.

About the event

Looking to meet new photographers, make some connections and get out shooting with people you haven't met before?

Photographer Roulette is your opportunity for that.

You'll be paired with a photographer, head out and shoot together for 20 minutes, then come back to base and be paired with someone completely different for the next round. Repeat this for 4 Rounds. 

It's about making new connections, photographing with different people and enjoying a night out with other photographers.

Across four rounds, you'll have the opportunity to meet and shoot alongside four different photographers, with each round giving you a new person to explore the area with.

The focus of this event is simply on meeting people.

👥 Come Ready to Network

This event is designed around socialising and meeting other photographers, so please come prepared to introduce yourself, chat and photograph alongside people you may not have met before.

If you're looking for a quiet solo photo walk, this probably isn't the event for you.

Event Structure

6:30 PM — Meet & briefing

7:00 PM - 8.30PM Photography Rounds 1,2,3,4 Start.

9:00 PM — Finish

Each round involves being paired with a new photographer to shoot with.

Photography Prompts

Each pair will receive a card containing four photography prompts, with one prompt available for each round.

The prompts are optional — use them for inspiration or simply photograph whatever catches your eye on the night

📍 Location

We'll be based around Silo Park and Wynyard Quarter, giving you plenty of different environments to explore and photograph together.

Expect a mix of:

  • Waterfront and marina
  • Architecture
  • Industrial elements
  • People and movement
  • Auckland City skyline

We'll have a central meeting point that everyone returns to between rounds, while each pair has freedom to explore within the designated area.
