More about the event

Speakers program
After Valencia 2009 and Lyon 2011, the FEP international days go to Gmunden, Austria.
It will be a great opportunity for professionals, young talents and students who want to grasp the changes of the photographic industry in Europe, and to know the actual standards and trends in social and commercial photography.
The program, made under the auspices of the FEP, the European Federation of Professional Photographers, puts the light on what’s is the top standard in Europe: the  authors who will take the stage will be all  "certified" by the highest European recognitions.
Among them:
Jerónimo H.Coelho, MQEP, from Portugal, will offer us a particular point of view on the photography of architecture, as well as wedding, portrait and fine art. His passion for the image is so intense and the professional standard is so high that you will be simply captured..
Günther Egger, MQEP, Austria has worked as a professional photographer since 1995, focusing on the areas of fashion/beauty, products and fine art. The highest European quality is the icing on the cake!
Filip Santens, MQEP, another eclectic talent based in Belgium, his images space from social photography to illustration, fine art, landscape and reportage.
Martin Vrabko, maybe the best actual Slovak photographer, also a Master QEP. Touching and inspiring, both his portraits and commercial fashion works  show how to add vital energy to all his creations. And how to turn a passion into a great professional opportunity.
Bella West, QEP, UK, specialises in wedding and portrait photography, and is an established photography teacher. Bella will show a special collection of images to be displayed as art pieces from both commissioned works and her personal work over the years. 

All the speakers will be presented on the stage by the radio journalist Jutta Mocuba.
