Switzerland

A country of lakes and mountains.

Welcome to the Swiss Chapter!

The Swiss chapter was founded in 2012 and we now have over 40 members of varying ages and experience. We have both professional and amateur photographers of different nationalities with a number of us possessing RPS distinctions. We welcome members from both Switzerland and neighbouring countries.

Every year we aim to have 5 or 6 meetings covering visits to galleries & exhibitions, workshops and distinction advisory days. Switzerland is not a large country; it is therefore quite easy to reach our meetings by train or car. The meetings mainly take place in Murten, Biel or Zurich. 

The chapter relies on volunteers and people willing to participate in, and contribute to, its activities. If you are able to support an event please contact the chapter organiser, Johan Peijnenburg, via e-mail: switzerland@rps.org 

If you'd like to help with any of the administration of the chapter, please also contact Johan.

'This is not a metaphor'

Richard Tucker's recent FRPS success was in the form of a lay flat photo book and compares the tunnels created by ants in their nests to the tunnels under our railway stations.
