Fotokommission maintains a pool of photographers who run courses, photograph VSETH events and carry out specific assignments for the Polykum.

Membership of the pool is very attractive for students with a passion for photography:

  • Free use of professional photographic equipment
  • Free courses from the photography commission
  • Free and exclusive further training
  • Professional support for individual development
  • Valuable practical experience at events
  • Collaboration with Polykum (reprint with attribution)
  • Wages as a course instructor

All assignments and courses are voluntary. They are presented to the pool and whoever has the time and inclination takes on the assignment. We expect 2-3 assignments or courses per semester as a minimum

If you are interested, please get in touch with us:

  • What motivates you to become a member of the pool
  • How much time you have per semester for assignments and how long you would like to stay in the pool
  • How much knowledge you have, what experience you have already gained
  • In which direction you would like to develop your photographic know-how

Please don’t be shy, the aim of the commission is for students to acquire photographic knowledge. So it is definitely not a requirement that you are already a professional.

However, if you are not sure about joining Fotokommission, you are welcome to come to one of our internal events (Print&Beer, …) during the semester. Just send an email to vorstand@fotokommission.ch .
