Who are we?

Hello! We are Foton (officially known as Amateur Fotografen Vereniging Drienerlo or A.F.V.D. Foton). We are one of the cultural associations of the University of Twente. Our mission is to stimulate photography and increase the photography knowledge of the students and people beyond the University.

We do this by organizing regular events with different themes and topics about photography and editing. For example nature-, street-, model- and product-photography. But also light painting and so on. Also, we organize weekend trips and a trip abroad. Besides this we have exhibitions and contests. We give workshops from professionals in the field and attend lectures together.

Foton has studio equipment, a functioning Dark Room (for developing analogue pictures) and we can use different rooms in the University for our events.
