Photography Meetups in London - Welcome to Localventure

Here's a write up about Photography Meetups in London from a recent magazine articel which gives you a feel for what Christian and Mandar are trying to achieve :


While nothing beats the feeling of creating an image of one’s own, there are few things better in life than sharing a picture-making experience with fellow enthusiastic photographers. Two photographers who realised the potential of this are Christian Carella and Mandar Karlekar, who jointly run Photography Meetups, ‘the photographer’s social networking site’. Each bi-monthly London-based ‘meet-up’ has a designated theme and location. Participants have the chance to take images of key London places in relaxed, informal company and the meet-ups usually end in a nearby pub so there are plenty of opportunities to socialise with like-minded photographers. The most recent Meet-up took place in the Kyoto Japanese Gardens in Holland Park this month and previous destinations have included KewGardens and The London Wetland Centre. There are currently over 2,000 members, and those who sign up for a yearly or half yearly membership can enter competitions, showcase their images on the website and receive priority invites to special events Non-members are still able to attend at a cost of £5 or 6 on the day (excluding entry fees). A fantastic website for photographers looking to share their photographic experiences with others.
