Photography

**Let's use the short window of opportunity and have a "Portray and Be Portrayed" session with beautiful cherry blossoms! 🌸** During this event, you'll experience both sides of the lens: being a photographer and a model. You'll work in small, autonomous groups of 3–4 people, rotating roles so there is only one active model at a time. ➔ Please only join if you're comfortable being photographed by other participants! **📅** **Itinerary** **14:00** \- we start at [Kirschblütenallee am Mauerweg](https://maps.app.goo.gl/imozwcZLGW96c3zt5), wait around 15 minutes for everyone to join, assemble the group, and start the event; **During an event**, you will be able to fully swap with members of other groups to maximize results **16:00** \- We all meet back at the starting point \- and go for a late lunch\. Location will be provided on the day of the event\. **📸** **Optional - Street Casting!** If there is enough interest, we might also introduce the elements of street casting into this event - meaning, we will be approaching people in the alley. We will discuss it at the beginning of the event. **Check out the reel from our first "Portray and Be Portrayed" event:** **🔗** [View Reel](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEXHaLhKFXc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) **📸** **Photography session requirements** * \*\**Bring a dedicated camera (mobile phones won’t suffice).* Want to join without a proper camera?

And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*

We meet and sketch each other in Berlin. This is just an art gym that we also exercise our social skills. Afterwards usually we go for lunch as a group. **How Does It Work?** This event is simple, we meet and sketch each other doing portraits. Most of the participants use pencils or watercolors. Main aim is to socialize while we draw. There will be plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. We have to mention that this event is suitable for all levels. Many have started to draw in our event actually. **Structure** A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute. B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes. C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other. **Who We Are** Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin. **Is it Free?** The event is free of charge.
