See all- Community Hangout with Portray & be portrayed in Tiergarten!Tiergarten - Cafe am Neuen See, Berlin
As we prepare to launch The ISO Club platform next month, we’re excited to kick off the reactivation of our community with the "Community Hangout + Portray and be portrayed" event!
Event details
An extended version of our "Portrait & Be Portrayed" (P&P) format—after the photography session, we’ll reconvene at the charming Café am Neuen See at 3:00 PM to share results, chat about photography, life, and more!
The social hangout is open to all, but if enough folks arrive at 1:00 PM not interested in P&P, we’ll simply enjoy a casual hangout together!About "Portray & be portrayed"
Need fresh portraits for dating apps, your business profile, or personal projects? If yes, join "Portray and Be Portrayed!"During this event, you'll experience both sides of the lens: photographer and model.
➔ Please only join if you're comfortable being photographed by other participants!- We will rotate roles so there is only one active model at a time.
- You'll work in small groups of 3–5 people, each guided by an experienced portrait photographer from The ISO Club.
- This format is inspired by our successful TFP (Time for Print) sessions.
Check out the reel from our first "Portray and Be Portrayed" event:
