**Learn Your Camera Workshop** Next Friday, **22/05/2026**, we’re hosting a beginner-friendly 1-hour workshop at **WienMitte Photography Studio**. You’ll learn how to understand your camera settings, take control of manual mode, and start creating better photos with more confidence. **Duration:** 1 hour **Cost:** 15€ **Location:** WienMitte Photography Studio Spaces are limited — DM to reserve your spot.

For 2026, we are starting our third year meeting every second Tuesday to mingle and get some ideas rolling. If you were not able to join us last time, come network, share stories, and meet some new people to crew or talent for your next project. We need to change venues occasionally due to other sceduled events, so be sure to check the location (If you get to the venue early, tell them you are with the "FILMMAKER'S GROUP" at 20:00- thanks) \*Meetup has more than doubled its fees for organizers planning events, to compensate for the added admin cost, we are putting out a tip jar at every event and asking for a 2-5€ donation per attendee. Not required, but definitely appreciated. **PLEASE NOTE LOCATION (only this time) ** When: Tuesday at 20:00 where: Quentin Kaffeebar Kaisersraße 96 1070 --please be sure to sign up and cancel if you cannot make it, so we can be respectful to the venue.

Dear artists, This time we will have Janek with short and long poses! See you there!

## The Portrait League – Paid Studio Sessions for Serious Hobby Photographers This is a structured portrait community — not a casual meetup. The Portrait League is a recurring studio (location) gathering for photographers who want to improve their portrait and headshot work in a focused, constructive environment. Each session will focus on a specific studio concept: – Classic 1-light headshots – Dramatic low-key portraits – High-key commercial looks – Editorial portrait setups – Creative color lighting Model included. We don’t rush for quantity. We work for quality. The goal is simple: Refine technique. Improve consistency. Develop a recognizable portrait style. This is for photographers who: • Want structured growth • Value critique over ego • Take their craft seriously • Prefer collaboration over chaos Spots are limited to maintain quality and productive energy. Investment Today: €15 Duration: approx. 2–3 hours If you want random shooting, this isn’t it. If you want to level up your portrait game, join the league. ***

Join me for a night photo walk through the city centre :) We will gather at Karlsplatz, then continue to Albertina museum, Michaeler Platz, Cafe Central, to Votiv Kirche. If you have a tripod, this could be a good opportunity to use it, but as always, any gear is good. The event is free of charge but will be limited to max 10 people as it is meant as an opportunity to connect. It is suitable for all regardless of age/level/gear. IMPORTANT: As demand for this kind of walks is high and I cannot manage a larger group, please leave this one out if you are a regular (have been to +5 events) so others have a chance to join.

## Editorial Boudoir Lighting Session **Limited to 3 Photographers** An intimate, structured boudoir session focused on controlled lighting, refined posing, and intentional composition. This is not an open group shoot. The atmosphere will be calm, directed, and professional. We will work with: • 1 professional model • 2 curated lighting setups • Guided posing and direction • Structured shooting rotations • Time for questions and breakdowns The focus is on building strong portfolio material while understanding how to shape light and mood in an editorial boudoir environment. Spots are strictly limited to three participants to ensure quality, space, and creative control. Investment: €225 Duration: approx. 2–2.5 hours If you value structure over chaos and intention over randomness, this session is for you.

Join me for a photo walk along the Stadtwanderwerg 3 :) We will gather at Kapelle St. Anna at the beginning of the official hike and take a walk along it (circular route). It should take about 3-4 h to complete, more info here: https://www.wien.gv.at/en/leisure/hiking-path3 Please note the day might be very hot so dress accordingly and bring water! The event is free of charge but will be limited to max 14 people as it is meant as an opportunity to connect. It is suitable for all regardless of age/level/gear.

**Don’t miss your opportunity to learn from a duo with over 16 years of experience combined. During this demonstration event, you can expect to learn how to direct and guide your creative vision through lighting and communication to your model. We guarantee you will leave this event feeling more confident to try new lighting set ups to match up with your anticipated outcome. Finding the right way to express your vision is key to getting your model to pose accordingly, so we got you there too! To take this even further, think about signing up for a tutorial spot following the demonstration.** ***Note: this is a demonstration event only, you will not shoot your own images. However, if you bring your camera we can test it for compatibility with the studio lights.*** **Following the demonstration will be a tutorial/coaching event - sign up separately if you are interested at** https://calendar.app.google/ZcHb4CQB2rrV3U7j9 **Save and book both for $199 (discounted from $215; the discount will be applied on the Tutorial invoice).**

TOPIC (TBD): Meeting Schedule: 1. 6:00 - Introduction, Meet New Members 2. 6:10 - Old Business 3. 6:20 - New Business 4. 6:30 - Pre-Shoot Briefing/Education 5. 7:15 - Break 6. 7:30 - Image Critique 7. 8:00 - Adjourn Pre-Shoot Brief/Education: NIK Collection 8 Image Critique: Previous Photoshoot Images (iPhone images and Christmas Cards). If anyone has images they would like critiqued, please provide them at the beginning of the meeting. Providing Images for Critique: For now, I will collect images at the beginning of the meeting on a USB memory stick. My computer has USB-C ports, so a USB-C memory stick or one with dual (USB-C / USB-A) ports will be needed. Images should follow these format rules: JPG - 80% quality or higher 132 dpi resolution 2048 pixels across the long edge Embedded colorspace - sRGB

These meetings will be a building block approach to learning photographic mastery over three disciplines: Mechanical Mastery (MM) - 13 weeks of the series Exposure Mastery (EM) - 26 weeks of the series Composition Mastery (CM) - A 52 week series All three series will run concurrently and will dovetail as follows: Q3/26 - MM (Iter 1), EM (Iter 1, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt1) Q4/26 - MM (Iter 2), EM (Iter 1, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt2) Q1/27 - MM (Iter 3), EM (Iter 2, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt3) Q2/27 - MM (Iter 4), EM (Iter 2, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt4) That's likely confusing, but essentially, MM offered 4 times in that period, EM offered 2 times, and CM offered 1 time. **TO BE CLEAR - THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THESE CLASSES.** This is an aggressive series, with presentations, homework, group shoots to be added in, likely at LEAST twice a month, image critiques, and an expectation that you are willing to put in the work to elevate your photography significantly. Open to all levels and all equipment levels. Don't let hesitation about your skillset and/or gear keep you from a one-time opportunity. The group will meet every Monday, with periodic exceptions, and we will try to keep as close as possible to the original plan. Obviously, more data to come, and will be published as this is further developed, but now is the time to decide if you want to be a part of this.

This will be our regular monthly meeting, with a new topic picked each month. Topics to be determined and posted soon.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

We have moved to guild.host. Look us up there. https://guild.host/events/buckeye-cocoaheads-rcavwd
