Hike & Pictures NL

Join us for an evening photowalk through Amsterdam during the magical Amsterdam Light Festival. This meetup is perfect for photographers and models (of all levels) who love capturing light, people, and atmosphere.

### 🕓 Meeting time & location

We meet at 16:00 at Amsterdam Central Station, where we’ll start our walk together through the city. Details and times can change a little bit before the event happens

### 🌅 Sunset → Night photography

Since sunset is around 16:45, we’ll have the chance to capture:

• Golden hour and sunset shots
• City silhouettes and reflections
• The transition from daylight to night

When it get's dark, it's time to focus on the Amsterdam Light Festival, photographing light installations, street scenes, and models walking through the city, giving you plenty of creative opportunities. We're going to take pictures in underexposed environments, so make sure to bring the right gear! I'll bring some lights as well so that we can experiment with that as well, but make sure to bring your own gear as well. This meetup is all about experimenting!

### 🌃 What to expect

• Night photography with light art & city vibes
• Creators in action: photographers, models
• A relaxed walking pace with time to shoot, observe, and experiment

### 🍽️ Dinner, drinks & networking

Around 18:00 or 19:00, we’ll wrap up the walk and head for dinner and drinks.
This is the moment to:

• Socialise and connect with fellow creatives
• Share your shots and experiences
• Network and exchange ideas in a relaxed setting

### 🎒 What to bring

• Camera or phone
• Lights / tripods
• Extra batteries (night shoots drain fast!)
• Comfortable shoes
• Creative energy ✨

Details can change a bit at the start of the year, so make sure to check the updates by then! Exact route will be confirmed closer to date.
