Photo Jam Berlin #02 — Black & White Photowalk

Farben fallen weg, der Blick auf Formen und Licht bleibt. Beim Photo Jam #02 dreht sich alles um die Reduktion auf Schwarzweiß. Der Treffpunkt ist vor dem Go Asia in der Friedrichstraße. Von dort aus geht es zwei Stunden lang in Richtung Alexanderplatz, wobei die Route spontan den visuellen Impulsen folgt. Equipment spielt keine Rolle, vom Smartphone bis zur Kamera ist alles erlaubt. Wer mag, lässt den Nachmittag bei einem Getränk in der Gruppe ausklingen.

Photo Jam is a photography community built around creative exercises, regular practice, and meeting new people through photography. This walk is dedicated to black and white photography. Working without colour helps us focus more closely on shapes, light, contrast, texture, and composition. It feels like a different photographic medium, and it is something I personally love to practise—so I wanted to make it the theme of our second Berlin meeting. You don’t need any special equipment or previous experience. Bring whichever camera you enjoy using, including your phone, and feel free to shoot directly in black and white or convert your images afterwards. We’ll meet outside the entrance of Go Asia on Friedrichstraße and walk through the city for approximately two hours, generally heading in the direction of Alexanderplatz. This is a moving photowalk, so the finishing point will be different from the meeting point. There is no fixed endpoint: we’ll keep the route spontaneous, follow whatever looks interesting, and finish wherever the walk naturally takes us. Afterwards, anyone who feels like staying can join us for a beer or another drink nearby. Meeting point: Outside Go Asia, Friedrichstraße 140, 10117 Berlin Date: Saturday, 31 October 2026 Time: 14:00 Duration: Approximately two hours, followed by optional drinks The event is free and donation-based. If you enjoy the walk and would like to support the time and work that go into organizing Photo Jam, you’re welcome to contribute a few euros—but there is no obligation. Event updates and community conversation will take place in our Telegram chat. The link will be available to attendees through Meetup. See you on Friedrichstraße!
