Master Photography.
Explore Europe.
Europe's premier photography community where passionate photographers discover incredible locations, master new techniques, and share their craft with fellow enthusiasts across the continent.
🕒 ESTABLISHED 2016
Over 9 years of European photography community building
Founded by photographers, for photographers—now expanding beyond platform limitations.
🎯 Our Mission
To unite passionate photographers who want to master their craft while exploring Europe's most incredible photography locations. Every event focuses on photography techniques, location discovery, and advancing skills through hands-on practice and peer learning.
Photography techniques first, amazing locations second. Natural connections happen through shared passion for the craft.
📖 Our Story
What started as photographers exploring Brussels together has grown into a vibrant, multi-city community with 5,000+ members across Europe. As our photography community expanded, we realized we needed our own dedicated platform.
That's why we built photoresk.com—a photography platform designed by photographers, for photographers, ensuring a permanent space where every member can discover amazing locations and share their passion for visual storytelling.
🌍 International Photography Community
We understand what it's like to be in a new city seeking great photography opportunities. Our community welcomes international photographers who want to discover incredible locations, master new techniques, and advance their photography skills through practice and peer learning.
