Fairpicture

Fairpicture is located in Luzern, Switzerland on Gibraltarstrasse 24. Fairpicture is rated 3 out of 5 in the category photo agency in Switzerland. Local photographers and video journalists tell convincing and independent stories about development projects and humanitarian aid initiatives. They reveal nuances that are beyond the lens of Western photographers. They have an eye for images that are attuned to the local language and not distorted by stereotypical ideas. A more visceral approach means their photography and videography respects the dignity and rights of their photographed subjects. With fair working conditions, they can secure their livelihood as professional photographers and video journalists on the spot. That’s the Fairpicture mission. Fairpicture is a non-profit platform of the Innovation Lab Foundation for Global Change with headquarters in Lucerne (Switzerland). We assign professional local photographers and videographers in the Global South to work on projects of NGOs, state development agencies and non-profit foundations. Title photography: Juanita Escobar
