Ready to Join?

Join us for a colourful photography walk during one of the most spectacular outdoor events in the Netherlands!

The International Kite Festival transforms the beach of Scheveningen into a giant open-air gallery filled with incredible flying art. Giant whales, dragons, octopuses, geometric shapes and hundreds of colourful kites create endless photographic opportunities.

This event is suitable for everyone:
📷 DSLR
📱 Smartphone photographers
😊 Beginners
🎓 Experienced photographers

The goal isn't just taking beautiful photos but also learning to see differently while enjoying a relaxed afternoon with fellow photography enthusiasts.

What we'll photograph...

Instead of simply photographing kites, let's give everyone mini creative challenges.

Challenge 1
Colour Explosion - Photograph the most colourful scene possible.
Think about: contrast; composition; negative space

Challenge 2
Giant vs Human - Show the scale.
Include people walking underneath the giant kites.

Challenge 3
Abstract Photography, Zoom in - Forget the whole kite.
Photograph only: texture, fabric, colour, curves, shadows
