About InSide

InSide is a monthly meet up for of photographers who care about documentary. It’s a place to show work in progress, talk things through, ask questions you’ve been sitting on, and hear how others are navigating their own practice. It’s also a space to advocate for documentary photography, for each other, and for the value of this work. InSide is relaxed, curious, and shaped by our community.

Meeting Structure

Hour one: sharing work
• 5–6 photographers per session
• 10 minutes each
• Up to 5 minutes showing images
• Up to 5 minutes for questions, advice, and discussion

This is about peer-to-peer support and learning. It’s an informal space to talk through ideas, share skills, or talk through sticking points in your practice. It’s not a critique session, unless someone asks for that kind of feedback.

Hour two: building the community
• Sharing news and opportunities
• Flagging events people can attend
• Exploring ideas for collaboration and collective projects

This hour is about bringing people together, supporting each other, and finding ways to grow InSide as a community.
