PHOTO HUNTING Vol. II: Lapangan Banteng

We are the biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta…
…and we invite you to join us for this PHOTO HUNTING around Lapangan Banteng.

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.

Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

ABOUT THE EVENT
The idea is very simple: We will walk and take pictures, just for fun and to connect with fellow (amateur) photographers. All level of experience with photography are welcome! At the end of the event, we can go for a bite together (tbd on the spot).

Your event host is a local who knows the nuts & bolts of this city, and a skilled photographer who will help you make the most of this event. Enjoy this adventure!

This trip is a photography-oriented event but open for a general audience with minimal skills in photography who want to experience the city in a new way while make new, authentic social connections.
Bring any camera you like, and take your shots at each stop and during your train ride! Post your best shots on IG tagging our community (@Jakarta.friends.creatives) and we will repost!

Note: This trip requires a train card to enter the station with a minimum deposit of about 15k IDR. You can buy the card directly at the station!

We have organised similar events before! You can see a few examples here:

• A FUN PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE for Amateur Photographers
• PHOTOGRAPHY Walking Tour BY NIGHT with CASH PRIZES!

ABOUT THE VENUE
This event will take you to Lapangan Banteng Square, a popular public park in the centre of Jakarta, where all the dreams for an extravagant port city of Batavia started. The square is surrounded by iconic buildings such as the Office of the Ministry of Finance, Jakarta Cathedral, Istiqlal Mosque, and the nearby Pasar Baru market.
