Workshop: photography as a team outing

With smartphone photography, you can give a team-building event an inspiring and creative character. In a relaxed and educational way, team members can get to know each other better.

Looking for an original and creative team outing?

During this team outing, you will go out together to take surprising photos with your smartphone. You will receive practical tips about camera functions, composition, lighting, perspective, and creative seeing. The explanations are alternated with fun photo assignments.

This is what the photography team outing looks like

  1. Short and practical photography introduction
    We start with a brief, accessible explanation about smartphone photography. Participants discover how to take better photos using simple camera settings and photography techniques.
  2. Heading out in small teams
    Next, we divide the participants into small teams. Each team receives a number of creative photo assignments. This way, everyone gets actively involved, naturally fostering collaboration, fun, and a healthy dose of competition.
  3. Photographing together
    During the assignments, team members look for unique subjects, original perspectives, and strong compositions. They discover how differently everyone views the same environment. These different perspectives often lead to surprising results.
  4. Selecting and editing the best photos
    After photographing, each team selects their best photos. Participants learn how to make these even stronger with a few simple edits.
  5. Viewing the results together
    We conclude the photography team outing together. The teams present their favorite photos and briefly explain the choices they made.

Customization for your organization and team

We can fully tailor the content and photography assignments to your organization, team, location, and objectives. Do you mainly want to work on collaboration and creativity? Or would you prefer to combine the workshop with learning how to create professional images that can be used within the organization? Both options are possible.

For example, think of professional portraits for LinkedIn, strong photos of colleagues and the work environment, images of products or services, and visual content for Instagram and other social media.

This way, it becomes a photography team outing that is not only fun and connecting, but also practical: participants learn skills they can immediately apply within the organization.
