Next Events

PICZ promotes the practice of Photography through its activities (click on the image to see details).

Structure of the club activities

LABS: Activities to learn and share knowledge are grouped into” Labs”. There you will find discussions, workshops and other activities. Each “Lab” has the focus on a given aspect of  photography: Analog Photography, Digital Photography, Creative Photography, Community building and Networking. You can join one or several of the labs and start being informed or to participate.

If you plan to organize an activity, host a workshop or have any other idea to share just suggest them directly in the corresponding lab’s forum.

COMPETITION: Regular competitions where participants have a chance to challenge their skills and creativity. In the competition menu, you will find more details about the current competition. You will also find the forum where to post your participation to the forum. Please note that non members of PICZ may be required a small payment to enter the competition.

PROJECTS: Our members work together practice photography or show their work: exhibitions, trips, etc. Each project has a corresponding forum where members can work together and exchange opinions.

EQUIPMENT SHARING: The Club is purchasing equipment that the members can use. We also promote the exchange of material between the members.

Events of this Lab are designed to develop the creativity or to study technical aspects of photography which are not limited to one medium, e.g. photo-transfer techniques, creative use of your camera, double exposure techniques, study pictures of a given photographer or photography style, etc.
