About us
Centrum för fotografi is a nationwide membership association for photographers and photography professionals. Our mission is to disseminate knowledge, provide general education, and support various types of professional roles within photography.
We strengthen the labor market for professionals in the photographic field. Our activities involve supporting our members through employment-promoting initiatives, continuing education courses, exhibition opportunities, and by offering a photographic network.
We elevate the value and role of photography in society. Through programs and exhibitions, we promote a discussion about the role and function of photography in society, both in a historical perspective and in our contemporary world.
We connect different photographic phenomena and serve as a gathering place for everything that happens in the photographic field in Sweden. Through our program activities and recurring partners, we establish a long-term presence throughout the country.
With the support of the Swedish Arts Council, Region Stockholm, the City of Stockholm, and the Västra Götaland Region.
Our team
Those of us who work at Centrum för fotografi have diverse backgrounds in photography, art, and curating.
