Founded in 1945
Founded in 1945 as part of the Federation of Professional Associations of Artists; became an independent professional association of photographers in 1968. GKf is a platform for a group of photographers who are involved in social engagement, and is part of the professional association of photographers GKf. Members of the GKf come from the documentary, commercial and autonomous photographic field. This is because a photographer has to fit in with the GKf in order to become a member. This therefore has a broad meaning. For the photographers of GKf, content and a critical eye are important. The photographers of GKF express their personal and social vision through photography.
