About us
The Lisboa Photo Community is an informal and diverse community of cool and friendly humans interested in photography, photowalks and other camera-related activities in and around Lisbon. It exists to bring together photographers of all levels of experience, to create spaces for socialization and to enable exchanges of information, questions and ideas.
A Lisboa Photo Community é uma comunidade informal e diversificada de pessoas simpáticas e fixes interessadas em fotografia, passeios fotográficos e outras actividades relacionadas com máquinas fotográficas em Lisboa e arredores. Existe para juntar fotógrafos de todos os níveis de experiência, para criar espaços de socialização e para permitir trocas de informação, questões e ideias.
Community Rules
- The first rule of the community is: be nice and kind, always. Bring positive vibes.
- Please be a good human being: show respect when photographing people. In addition to being aware of the laws, photographers should keep in mind such concerns as the privacy and dignity of people they photograph, the power dynamics that are at play, their cultural and personal biases as well as cultural sensitivity. A very basic guideline could be to put yourself in your subject's shoes — how would you feel if the roles were reversed? How would you fee if you were being photographed in such situation and circumstances?
- Keep your RSVPs updated. If you sign up and don’t show up at an activity, you might get banned from the group.
- No advertising, selling, marketing, or any commercial activity.
- No trolling, no harassment, no unsolicited messages to persons you haven’t met, no hate speech.
Regras da comunidade
- A primeira regra da comunidade é: ser simpático e amável, sempre. Trazer vibrações positivas.
- Por favor, seja um bom ser humano: mostre respeito ao fotografar pessoas. Para além de estarem informados sobre as leis, os fotógrafos devem ter em conta questões como a privacidade e a dignidade das pessoas que fotografam, as dinâmicas de poder que estão em jogo, os seus preconceitos culturais e pessoais, bem como a sensibilidade cultural. Uma orientação muito básica poderia ser colocar-se no lugar do seu sujeito - como se sentiria se os papéis fossem invertidos? Como se sentiria se estivesse a ser fotografado nessa situação e nessas circunstâncias?
- Mantenha os seus RSVPs actualizados. Se se inscrever e não aparecer numa atividade, é possível que seja banido do grupo.
- Não há publicidade, vendas, marketing ou qualquer atividade comercial.
- Não há trolling, não há assédio, não há mensagens não solicitadas a pessoas que não conhece, não há discurso de ódio.

LxPC 24 Jan — the one about the cover
Lince Ibérico (Bordalo II), Rossio dos Olivais, 1990-221 Lisboa, Lisboa, PT— Should the weather be friendly enough... —
The challenge for this photo walk will be to make images for the cover of a book or the poster of a movie/series.
You will be given a card with 2 titles and a short summary, and your mission (which you can only accept) will be to make pictures that evoke the book or the movie — keeping in mind that some of your images should serve as the cover: that means some of the images need to be in the portrait/vertical format and include some negative space (that is, in order to make room for text).
For instance, on a card, you might have:
- The Last of Us
[ The Last of Us is an American post-apocalyptic drama set decades after the collapse of society caused by a mass fungal infection that transforms its hosts into zombie-like creatures. The first season follows Joel and Ellie as they travel across the United States. ] - The Little Prince
[ The Little Prince is a timeless tale of a prince’s journey from planet to planet in search of adventure. What he finds, however, are interactions with adults who leave him frustrated or dismayed. In the Sahara Desert, he runs into the book’s narrator, and the two start an eight-day journey filled with lessons. ]
The goal is to produce 10 images, and you could either choose one or be inspired by the two titles.
This exercice can be quite challenging: in order to re-cover, we'll end the walk with drinks...
