In some of our cities, we run a Startup Open Coffee focused on early startup founder questions and helping early startup Investors learn more about the funding process. For the next month, I will be in Tallinn, starting with Latitude59. I thought I would bring this Open Coffee conversation together while I am here. We will focus on the startup questions that folks have about their startup efforts and see if we as a group can find ways to help everyone make progress. Join me at Lift99 for an Open Coffee \- John Sechrest

**👉 [Ticket and more information](https://annameurer.com/services/workshops/workshop-black-and-white-portrait-photography-in-natural-light/) 👈** **Light, Structure, and Personality: The Black & White Portrait in the City** Black and white photography is not a filter. It is a conscious decision about how we see light, perceive shapes, and capture the essence of a person. Tallinn, specifically the vibrant, industrial atmosphere of Telliskivi, provides the perfect urban backdrop for this exploration. With its mix of historic brickwork, modern street art, and unique light, it is a playground for monochromatic composition. In this three-hour outdoor workshop, we explore the streets and hidden corners of Telliskivi. We will use the urban environment not just as a background, but as an active, graphic design element to bring depth and character to your portraits. **👉 [Ticket and more information](https://annameurer.com/services/workshops/workshop-black-and-white-portrait-photography-in-natural-light/) 👈**
