Want to learn how to shoot in a professional studio setting? Join us on July 28 at 13:00-16.00 for a hands-on photography workshop at studio DAER in Tilburg. The workshop is given by MICHA BRAAKSMA, a fashion and experimental photographer, as well as Creative Director & Editor in Chief for WAER Magazine.

In the workshop, you’ll learn how to work with studio lighting, from strobes to continuous lights, as well as to use different light modifiers, how to shoot tethered to a computer, and how to try out different creative lighting techniques. There will be a model and styling on set, and everyone will have the chance to shoot their own images.

The workshop is open to anyone aged 27 and under who has some degree of photography experience, but wants to dive deeper into studio work. You can bring your own camera, but it’s not required.

The fee is €10 per person, drinks are on us! Spots are limited, so don’t wait! Sign up by DM or email: waermagazine@gmail.com.

Sign up now for free poetry and analogue photography workshops! In collaboration with WERKWARENHUIS and HUIS73, WAER is organizing a short series of workshops related to analogue photography and poetry. This is leading up to our first physical print! Because of that, the theme for these workshops is also ENIGMA. To showcase the end results from the workshops, each participant will have their works exhibited! 

The (English) poetry workshop will be given by JEROEN VAN WIJK on the 11th of May and the analogue photography workshop will be given by KAJETAN ONISZK on the 25th of May. Each workshop will combine both theory and practice; teaching you about the basic and more advanced elements of each artform, and then letting you put them into practice. 

The exhibition will combine results from the workshops from each participant, showcasing poetry and photography side by side. It will take place at the WERKWARENHUIS, where we will open on the 7th of June at 13.00, so make sure to put it in your calendars! The exhibition will be on view on the 7th and 8th of June between 13.00 - 18.00. On the same days, inside and outside the building, you can also enjoy Tramkade Festival, as well the Design market on the 8th of June.

Both workshops and the participation in the exhibition are entirely free. For the photography workshop we also supply everyone with a roll of film which we develop for you. If you have your own (35 mm) camera we ask that you bring it, but if you don't have one, please let us know in advance, so we can lend you one!
