​Le Bivouac • Monthly meeting • August Edition by Collectif L'escalade

​Tuesday 11 August 2026 | 19:00 @Etcetera Bar in Etterbeek

​☀️📸 Pitch your camp with photographers, image-makers and visual storytellers for a golden, sun-drenched evening in Brussels.

​Whether you're back from a trip with a memory card full of stories, or you never left town but still caught that perfect summer light, come join the circle. Le Bivouac is our monthly gathering. A place to set down your bag, refill your cup, and soak up a little inspiration, connection and community before the season winds down.

​Did you really think we'd let August slip by without lighting the fire again?

​That's right: Le Bivouac is here. Our beloved no-strings-attached, come-as-you-are, no-need-to-explain-your-camera-settings (unless you really want to) get-together for photographers in Brussels and beyond. Now with extra summer vibes.

​Besides meeting people who get excited about the same things you do and talking about whatever you fancy (no agendas, no ice-breakers, just good conversation round the proverbial campfire), you'll also get to:

• ​Show off the postcards-in-photo-form from your summer travels, or whatever else you've been shooting

• ​Swap stories from behind the lens, like road trips, hazy landscapes, golden hours, and the shot you almost missed

• ​Head home with a fresh spark of inspiration in your pack, ready for whatever's left of the season

​It doesn't matter if you shoot film or digital, if you're a seasoned pro, a freelance, or someone who simply loves the craft. Whether your camera roll is full of sun-bleached coastlines or Brussels rooftops, if you pick up a camera, there's a spot for you at the fire.

​We can't wait to see you there.

​Bring your latest work, bring your travel tales, bring a friend you've been meaning to introduce. Stay for one drink in the evening warmth or settle in until the stars come out… 😊
