photo::vienna Edition #2

The photography event 'photo::vienna' represents a platform whose aim it is to strengthen Austria's photography scene. Under the overall heading of Applied Photography and with a focus on developing a sensitive visual perception, photo::vienna presents a broad spectrum of genres, exhibiting fine-art, architectural and portrait photography as well as commercial, editorial and reportage photography.
