Industry Guide

As a member of Centrum för fotografi, you will receive tips on current opportunities within the photographic field in the industry guide.

Centrum för fotografi is a nationwide interest and membership association for photographers and other professional groups working in photography. The association has a twofold purpose: to provide general education and knowledge dissemination regarding photographic images, and to support various types of professional roles within photography.
Through exhibitions and programs, the goal is to promote a discussion about the role and function of photographic images in society, in historical perspective and in our time. By creating new points of contact between the field of photography and other industries in society, the association seeks new avenues to employment for its members.

The Industry Guide is a frequently updated collection of current opportunities within the photographic field for our members to take part in.
