IPFO
CAMPUS
Our Mission
The IPFO Campus is part of the HAUS DER FOTOGRAFIE and the INTERNATIONAL PHOTO FESTIVAL OLTEN. A major part of our mission is to position the IPFO as a center of excellence for photography that builds bridges through education and inspiration, and that fosters and develops the creative and technical skills of photographers.
At IPFO Campus, we organize masterclasses and workshops with internationally renowned photographers as well as the cream of the Swiss photography scene for photography enthusiasts from around the world. These courses and workshops take place throughout the year. The focus is not only on learning, but also on having fun.
Dario Veréb | To See and Be Seen
The workshop for photographers who struggle with self-promotion
Dario Veréb is the photo editor of the *NZZ am Sonntag* and regularly commissions freelance photographers for the Sunday edition. In search of new collaborators, he spends hours clicking and scrolling through portfolio websites and social media channels. How does he decide who gets the assignment? Which portfolios stick in his mind, and which ones don’t?

Flash in Documentary Photography WITH NIKITA TERYOSHIN
In this workshop, you’ll delve into the world of Valais fighting cows—a tradition that is not without controversy, straddling the line between archaic ritual, rural identity, and public spectacle. Together, we’ll explore this topic using the tools of street and documentary photography, employing the flash not as an effect but as a deliberate means of intensifying, emphasizing, and visually communicating the subject.
