The Swiss Nature Photographer Society (ASPN), founded in 1969 under the name “Association Suisse pour la Chasse Photographique”, got today’s name in the year 1976 to detach distinctly the nature photography from the hunting. The ASPN represents the “International Federation of Wildlife Photography” (IFWP) in Switzerland.

The passionate ASPN members not only try to develop further their knowledge in taking photos, films and video films, but also to reach a better comprehension of man’s obligation towards the nature.

A code of honour keeps all ASPN members to a responsible attitude and ethic of work in the field.

By the diffusion of photos and the presentation of films and slide shows, the Society enables the audience to experience the members’ special moments of getting in touch with the nature.

The names of ASPN members are very often found in books, magazines, calendars, and even among the winners of international photo competitions, both in Switzerland and abroad.
