Introduction to JMPC

Joensuu Multicultural Photography Club (JMPC) 

Joensuu Multicultural Photography Club (hosted by JoMoni) is an amateur photography workshops/club in Joensuu. Here we share our knowledge and skills, learn from others and have fun while learning and practicing photography.

Ideological background:
The goal of our club is to improve and strengthen communication among people from different backgrounds. This special interest group creates an environment where we can learn as much as possible about photography from others. Improving understanding between people from different backgrounds is challenging, but we shall have the goal to take interesting pictures from the life of people from different backgrounds living in North-Karelia, Joensuu.

For whom? 
The club is for everyone who is interested in learning and sharing techniques, knowledge and related to photography. Either you are just learning or want to learn advanced technique on different levels of photography, you are welcome to join. We have regular meetings every where each sessions are dedicated to learn more about different topics of photography. Sometimes, we will also ask visitors and some professional photographer to come and give us some presentation on special topic that might interests us.

How much does it costs?
Our club membership fee is 15€ (or 10€ if you are member of JoMoni)

What will you get?
Apart from learning photography and meeting cool people in general, you also get an opportunity to display/share your work (personally or in groups)  through meetings, competitions and maybe assignments, and we can also  learn through other critiques. Our club's mentor and professional photographer Jarno Pääkkönen have many years of experience in different areas of photography. The guest presenters or professionals, maybe once in a month will broaden our photographic horizons. Moreover, we believe that taking pictures in group is fun and resourceful. Thus, we sometimes organize regular field trips or  groups excursions and events where we go in groups and put our learning in practice. This helps to get practical experience and socialize with other members.

How to join us?
If you are interested, come to our first meeting on Monday, November 28th, Vyöhyke seminar hall (first floor), Suovankatu 1. On this session, Jarno Pääkkönen will also present the initial plan for until the end January. If you already have a camera, please bring your camera with you if possible. Come and check out what is going on and discuss what will be interesting for you, getting to know each others, getting familiar with main aims and goals and organization matters.
