Photo Days 3.0 "Casino Royale" in Karlsruhe with experience worlds, live demos & hands-on photography
Venue: Ettlinger-Tor-Platz 1, 76133 Karlsruhe
Experience photography anew – immerse yourself in creative theme worlds and develop your photographic skills with a completely new event concept!
The Location
The Photo Days 3.0 by Fotoprofi stand for a new, open event concept: Instead of classic workshops, you can expect freely accessible experience worlds directly in the specialist store. You can drop by anytime, try things out, take photos, and get inspired – no registration required.
The focus is on thematic photo worlds with realistic setups, where you experience technology in action. Whether low-light, portrait, or motion – you test cameras and lenses exactly in the situations they are made for. This creates genuine hands-on experiences and makes photography accessible to everyone.
On May 16, 2026, this concept, under the motto "Casino Royale," will stop in Karlsruhe. You can expect stylish, staged photo worlds with elegant motifs, exciting lighting moods, and real "James Bond vibes" – from poker chips to roulette and the red carpet.
A special highlight: You move freely through various experience areas and can test cameras, lenses, and accessories directly on site – without your own equipment and without fixed schedules.
It's getting creative – with elaborately designed scenes, models, and many opportunities to actively photograph yourself. If you love photography, this is the place to be.
Safety first: For all participants, respectful and safe conduct is paramount. Instructions from on-site staff must be followed at all times.
