Four passionate photo days

/from

More than 3000 photography enthusiasts visited Photo Münsingen 2025 over the Ascension Day holidays. Passion wasn't just the theme of many of the photo exhibitions. "The photographers also demonstrated that they do their work with great passion," said organizing committee president Urs Hintermann.

The highlights

This year's theme—passion—offered space for a variety of photo exhibitions. Among the most impressive images are certainly the human sculptures of Louis Blanc's «cORpuS», Hansruedi Ramsauer's «Surreal worlds» and Kostas Maros' «HIDDEN – Hidden Places in Switzerland».

The competitions

«Passion» was also the theme of the «U25 Photo Challenge", the competition for young people, which was won this year by Janis Fasel with an impressive surfer photo. The "Photo Club Competition». The first prize went to the photography club of the Migros St. Gallen Club School with their work "Living Passion in Tango." Finally, in the third competition – «The most beautiful photo book in SwitzerlandManuel C. Studer won the "Fishing Championship" award, which Photo Münsingen organizes annually in collaboration with Bookfactory. His book "The Fisherman's Championship" is dedicated to Lake Constance fishermen and impressed with its impressive black-and-white images.

The multimedia show on Friday evening

The photographer demonstrated passion for the underwater world Raphael Studer with his multimedia lecture “Deep Thrill: Fascinating Underwater World”, which impressed with fascinating images of everything from the smallest microorganisms to giant whales.

Thanks to the helpers and sponsors

The organizing committee thanks the more than 100 volunteers, all exhibitors, speakers, and generous sponsors, including in particular the main sponsors Bookfactory, Nikon and Photo Vision Zumstein.

Bearded Vulture in the Alps

/from

The animal filmmaker Andreas Kieling came across the bearded vulture on his worldwide search for rare animals. In its ZDF Terra X program "Kieling's wild world" (from 27'50 '') he shows how one of the largest airworthy birds in the world regains a foothold in the Alps. Exterminated in the last century, around 200 bearded vultures are now living in the Alps again.

Photo Münsingen also devotes a lecture to this majestic bird. For the Swiss nature photographer Hans Ruedi Weyrich the bearded vulture is one of the favorite motifs. In his Lecture «Return of the Bearded Vulture to the Alps» he talks about the release and the work of the biologists with the animals.
