Photographer Roulette — Meet, Network & Shoot

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.
