We will finish May with a spectacular activity: smoke bomb photography. But if that’s not enough an old friend of DM Remco Nagtzaam will join us with his friends and two motors to make the activity even more spectacular. And to top it off, two models will join us to make some stunning photos. We will provide you with various colors of smoke bombs and proper lighting setups, but feel free to let your creative mind go free.

Lighting Workshop
2023-05-16 20:00 - 22:00 | DM Studio (Luna -1.398), De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
Are you passionate about mastering the art of lighting in photography, and perhaps have followed the studio basic course, but are not sure where or how to continue from there? Then this activity is perfect for you! During this activity, led by Tim Meijer, who has a lot of experience in studio lighting, we will explore the usage of various lighting techniques.
The activity will take place on the 16th of may. Make sure to be there, because it will be a lot fun!

Exotic Lenses
2023-05-09 20:00 - 22:00 | Atlas 4.225
With lenses being at the core of photography, we thought why not make an entire activity dedicated to them! Most of you will know about aperture, focal length and sharpness, but there is a lot more aspects that make a lens. In this activity you will learn more about these flaws and after that, there will be various test setups to test your own lenses on these flaws (so bring one or two lenses if you like!). We will also rent some special lenses like tilt-shift and anamorphic, so this your chance to try these!

Movienight: Parasite
2023-04-11 20:00 - 22:00 | DM Studio (Luna -1.398), De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
On Tuesday 11th of April, we have the film night. First, we will watch some amazing DM short film productions (from Film Jam and the results of the dance videography). Then for the main movie, we will be watching Parasite! This movie starts off when Ki-Woo who is from a poor family in Seoul, starts working for a wealthy family. I won’t spoil it any further, but it’s safe to say that it will be full of suspense with some interesting twists, with its themes around class and greed. It also boosts some great cinematography filled with symbolism, for which it won best picture in 2019 at the Oscars. So be sure to come and have a great break enjoying this amazing piece of cinema!

Photography as a supporting medium
2023-03-07 20:00 - 22:00 | DM Studio (Luna -1.398), De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
We all know and understand photography as an art on its own. But how can it be used to complement other art? In this activity we will explore this by taking and finding images that enhance another artistic production, more specifically a play. We will have a few scenes from the lunafest collaboration ‘Journey’, and we will try to create a set of projections that help convey the feelings and actions happening on stage. Join for a creative challenge and the opportunity to think about pictures in a different light!

General Member Meeting (Members only)
2023-02-28 19:00 - 23:00 | Luna 1.240
It is already time for the half yearly General Member Meeting. Time is going by so quickly this year we would almost forget the amount of innovation DM is going through. For this GMM it will not concern the boring but very important statute updates or bylaw changes (okay maybe a little bit). But this GMM includes a lot of member input! It is time for the committee updates, where we will get an insight into what our different committee’s here at DM are, what they do and what they are currently working on. We would love to have as any members as possible attend as we really want to hear what you think about the projects that are ongoing within DM. Are you really hyped to take a look at the brand-new GAS proposal or is the new DM weekend promotion trailer a bit more up your alley? Come and find out at the GMM on the 28th of February.

During the last part of the evening, we will share our results together and see what everyone has come up with, and there might even be a prize for the team with the most points!

OCW: Steel wool spinning (Public)
2023-02-15 19:00 - 22:00 | In Front of Luna, De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
In this Open Culture week we will revive an old DM classic: steel wool spinning! In the evening we will walk on and around the TU/e campus (we will find some new locations in case you were wondering 😉) to light up the sky with sparks and make some beautiful long exposures. So make sure to bring your tripod. Last time it rained during the evening, limiting our options, but we hope that this time everything can go on as planned! We will keep you up-to-date regarding the weather forecast, so stay tuned!

OCW: Long exposure (Public)
2023-02-14 20:00 - 22:00 | DM Studio (Luna -1.398), De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
As photographers we love light, but sometimes you have to work with a little less light, especially when your activity starts at 20:00 and it’s still only the 14th of February. Since night will still fall quite early, we are doing a long exposure activity! You can of course place your camera on a tripod and be done with it, but there are many different ways to gather all the light we crave in these dark times. Long exposure for example is a great way to capture movement in a still image. Have you tried for example zooming in or out, defocussing, panning, tilting or rotating you camera while taking a picture? We encourage you to unleash your creativity during this activity where we will go out together to take some amazing, experimental and fun pictures!

OCW: Modern take on paintings (Public)
2023-02-13 20:00 - 22:00 | DM Studio (Luna -1.398), De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
Paintings, we have all seen so many of them. Museums are filled with portrets ranging from hundreds of years ago to modern abstract pieces. When looking at the older pieces, a lot can still be translated to our modern day society. It will of course look at little difference but messages from the painters rarely fade over time. This is your chance to transform this message to something which appeals to modern day society! Taking inspiration from old paintings and making new art with them is something we will do on the Monday of the Open Culture Week. This can be remaking a painting with costumes, photoshopping yourself into a frame or incorporating modern items into old painting using photoshop, as can be seen from picture above. For this activity you only need to bring a camera, a creative mindset and maybe a little photoshop here and there, see you on Monday!

Studio Auction + Archive exploration (Members only)
2023-02-07 20:00 - 22:00 | DM Studio (Luna -1.398), De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
During the exam week the board has finally found the time to properly clean and reorganise the studio. To celebrate this we are organising an archive-exploration-activity, where we use our old slide-projectors to look back to DM’s 60 years of history.

2023-01-24 20:00 - 22:00 | DM Studio (Luna -1.398), De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
It’s time for a lovely DM Movie Night again! This time we’re watching a movie that exposes its beauty equally in visuals and character. After Yang (2021) is about the loss of an extraordinary family member, set in the not-too-distant future where humanoid AIs are nearly indistinguishable from humans. The movie makes you think about the way memories are formed and the moments that are really important in life. The cinematography brings forward interesting framing and the remarkable use of light. As always, snacks will be present. See you in the studio!
