Next meeting will be Wednesday, 18 September, 2024 at 20:00
Our guest speaker, Brussels and Lisbon-based Music Photographer David Vannucci will share what it takes to be a committed concert, festival, and tour photographer. He will walk us through the challenges and joys of low-light photography and working with strict routines and schedules while working on festivals or being on tour, but also share the rewarding and creative process of working on studio projects, off-stage with artists and performers.
Over the years David developed a niche for Behind the Scenes photography, a niche that he was able to finetune through his collaboration with the Belgian music festival Pukkelpop: It was the starting point for his “Stardust” series of photo expos and books. He will share additional insight into this project and engage in a conversation about our passion for photography......
You can find more info on David’s work visiting www.davidvannucci.art and www.muckmag.com/work/stardust-pukkelpop-mainstage.
In addition, Erick will give a short tutorial on how photographers can use social media.

Our last meeting was....
June 2024
Meeting started with our AGM, where we reviewed the activities of the season and a new committee was approved, including the appointment of a new president.
We devoted the second part of the meeting to the presentation of photos from the “Street Photography” project and also other personal projects presented by club members.
The street photos were taken in a number of different countries including Japan, China, the Philippines, India, The Netherlands, Portugal, and the USA and featured the use of a number of different shooting styles and techniques including slow shutter speeds, in camera movement, multiple exposures, and reflections. The colorful Japanese night life photos were particularly impressive.
In personal projects, we were treated to Kenyan safari photos, colorful sunrise photos, and more beautiful colorful night photos from Japan.

“Minimal photography”, like painting and music from the shared artistic movement of the 1950s and 60s, seeks to show essential subjects, principles or processes by removing unnecessary distraction from the message to let that one primary motif shine through.
Even while the photographic frame is a very limited fragment of the world, we can limit it even further by deliberately choosing to show less. When it is less, when it is nothing more than that one subject or notion, then the message of the photograph can be crystal clear. No distractions, no confusions, no other elements that might distort the message – just one notion, presented there as a constant feature for us to contemplate and enjoy.
Sixteen photographers from Viewfinders Photography Club of Brussels, collectively present their vision on minimal photography.
COLLECTIVE: Largest exhibition organized by the club.

“Collective” offers participants and visitors an opportunity to explore the full range of the photographic art and what it can mean in our society today. Each of the 38 artists – members of Viewfinders - chooses their own theme and style, yielding an extensive view of the photographic medium, from expressing an artistic intent to documenting the world around us. This showcase of the creativity and skill of the members highlights the beauty and power of photographs.
