PolaWalk – Polaroid Photo Walk Berlin

Explore Berlin Through a Shared Polaroid

PolaWalk is a community photo walk organised by Berlin Photo Studio with Polaroid and Safelight Berlin. It is open to beginners, photographers, visitors and anyone curious about creating instant photographs with other people.

Participants walk in groups of four and share one Polaroid Go camera. Creative themes and prompts encourage each group to slow down, observe Berlin and decide together when a moment deserves a physical photograph.

How It Works

1. Meet at Safelight Berlin

2. Share the camera

Each group of four uses one Polaroid Go camera and the provided film. Sharing the camera is part of the PolaWalk experience.

Walk through Berlin together and create instant photographs inspired by the themes and the city around you.

Return with your photographs, meet the community and compare the different interpretations while enjoying live painting by Julia Burmeister, a DJ set by Beatrice Testa and free beer.
