What we’re about
Let's meet, shoot and have fun!
Hello everyone!
Let's make this new group really ours? What about making here connections so we can get some quality time making more photos and enjoying more from the amazing opportunities Zürich and Switzerland offer us?
If you feel like it, let's connect on Instagram and on our Facebook Group.
Let's meet at least once a month and do some shooting. Maybe explore a technique, shoot an event or location, submit photos for critique and improvement, try shooting in a studio or just have fun during a photo walk. I'm all in for those, but what are YOUR suggestions? This is our group, let's make it the way we can enjoy it more.
I'd suggest English as the main language to keep this as international as Zürich, but there is nothing to stop us to create some language-specific topics and meetings. Who knows, we could mix language learning/practice and photography :D.
We share photos, ideas, projects and a lot more on our Facebook Group. It is free and fun to join here.
I am Cesar, a formally trained acting photographer based in Zürich. My goal here is to create a community in which we all can enjoy, learn, share experiences and knowledge, but most of all: have a fun place to photograph even more.
I am looking forward to the next meeting! Until then, have a great one!
*IMPORTANT*: do not advertise in the group. This might be enough reason for a ban without warning, let's please avoid this uncomfortable situation.

Zürich FREE Photo Walk for Beginners and Pro's - Old Town
Treffpunkt: Werdmühlplatz, Werdmühlplatz, Zürich, CHGrüezi Galera!
Let's get together and enjoy another delicious photo walk around our gorgeous Züri! This is a FREE event, but you may feel free 😉 to give an OPTIONAL contribution, keep the group rolling and allow me to bring more activities to YOU. You can contribute on the day, over Twint, PayPal or here.
We'll start at Werdmühleplatz and explore the unique old town by walking up over the Lindenhof Bridge and through the very narrow Kaminfegergasse, all the way to Lindenhofplatz. Here, you can observe both locals and tourists while enjoying the most beautiful view of the Limmat and the old town on the right-hand side of the river. Later, we might continue strolling towards the Rathausbrücke at the Limmat. There are stunning views and photo opportunities everywhere you look!
Thank you Daniel for suggesting this route and for helping organize this event!
Let's support the local businesses by grabbing a coffee or something to warm up at 18:30 for a "meet & greet". We'll chat a little and then kick off the actual photo walk at 19:00. Look for my tripod on the floor – that'll make it easy to spot us, even with all the camera bags around!
This photo walk will NOT have models. We're currently putting the final touches on our upcoming special photo walks that will feature models. These events will be truly exclusive and designed to offer a distinctly different and elevated experience for both photographers and models alike. We're aiming for a more focused and intimate shooting environment, allowing for deeper creative exploration and ensuring everyone gets the most out of these unique sessions. Keep an eye on your inbox, as the newsletter subscribers will get the first announcement before these highly anticipated events go public!
For this photo walk, feel free to explore these ideas and composition suggestions:
- Street photography
- Leading lines
- Tell a story
If you need some help with these ideas or techniques, just drop me a message in advance, as it might be difficult to organize something on the day of the event.
I'm very happy to be back and organizing these photo walks again! I've truly missed our meetings and can't wait to see you at this upcoming photo walk. My goal is to provide even more content, engaging meetings, fantastic learning opportunities, and so much more in the future. If you'd like to see that happen, please consider becoming a patron – your support makes a real difference. And as always, if you have any suggestions or ideas, please don't hesitate to get in touch; I'd love to hear from you!
If the event is full and you don't want to wait for eventual cancellations, get in touch through meetup@chaya.photo, there are 5 spots reserved for patrons, and maybe there is one still available.
The location might need to be changed due to bad weather, check back to see if there are any changes. It will happen regardless of the rain!
If you missed our 90+ previous CHats you can check the archives: www.chaya.photo/tuesday-photo-chat-archives
We share photos and opinions on our Facebook Group, it is fun and free to join: http://www.facebook.com/groups/CHaya.Meetup
See you all soon!
