NEW CLUB ALERT 🚨

NOM Fotoklub is a welcoming space for photographers of all levels to connect, share their work, and inspire one another. Whether you’re just starting out or have years behind the lens, this group is about exploring photography together in a supportive environment.

Organized by Florian Marschoun and Kevin Bacon, the club meets monthly—on the second Monday of each month from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Each session blends creative conversation with hands-on learning. We’ll look at one another’s work, discuss photography and editing techniques, and take on photo challenges to sharpen our skills and stretch our perspective.

To keep the inspiration flowing between meetings, the Fotoklub will feature a small monthly photography challenge—an optional prompt designed to spark creativity and encourage regular practice. We’ll revisit these challenges together during our meetups and see how differently each person interprets the theme.

At its heart, NOM Fotoklub is about community: a group of people curious about the art and craft of photography, open to learning from each other, and eager to grow through shared experience.

NOM offers a small selection of cameras to check out, but having your own camera—or a phone with photo capabilities—is highly recommended.

Come join us—bring your curiosity, your questions, and a few photos to share!

For any questions, feel free to contact Florian Marschoun at [email protected].
