Photography Events: how it works

This tool collects photography events in the Netherlands and Belgium: workshops, masterclasses, photowalks, and trade shows. Use it when you want to see what is coming up near you, or when you are looking for a course or a day out with other photographers.

What does this tool cover?

The tool lists events across several categories. Workshops and masterclasses focus on specific skills, from portrait lighting to night photography. Photowalks are group outings where you explore a location or neighbourhood alongside other photographers.

Trade shows and exhibitions are included as well. Think of photography fairs where you can test gear hands-on, or exhibitions where seeing others' work gives you a fresh perspective.

Using the tool as part of your planning

If you are heading out for a photowalk or an outdoor session, timing the light makes a real difference. The Golden Hour & Blue Hour tool shows you exactly when the golden hour falls for any date and location, so you can plan around the best light rather than showing up at noon.

For events focused on street photography, it helps to walk in with a clear direction. The Street Photography Assignments tool gives you concrete prompts to work with during the session.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find photography workshops close to where I live?

Use the region or province filter to narrow down events to your area. The tool covers both the Netherlands and Belgium.

Are free photowalks and community meetups listed as well?

Yes, the tool does not filter by price. Free photowalks and paid workshops both appear in the list.

How up to date is the events list?

The list is updated regularly, but always check the event's own page for the latest details. Organizers sometimes change dates or venues after initial publication.
