About YPU

The storyThe aim
 
YPU has a different approach.
Instead of pushing one particular photographer for one particular shoot; we provide a group of extraordinarily talented photographers, in a largely web based platform that gives us the chance of working around the world. As a collective of 150 we can work on a larger scale than any single photographer could do alone. YPU works hard to generate new opportunities where our photographers can shine and express their talents.

This unique structure allows us to approach every project with people of widely varying cultures and aesthetics; at the same time we can provide local photographers around the world at a moment’s notice.

Our mission is simple: for the young photographers we offer practical experience, knowledge and exposure to help launch their international careers in one of the toughest and most demanding creative fields imaginable.

For our partners we provide a truly professional service of the highest quality.

YPU puts extraordinary energy into initiating, co-ordinating and achieving projects in the commercial and public sphere:
- Commercial joint ventures with companies through an
   innovative approach of the business market
- Media publications (web, press, broadcast)
- Photographic books
- Exhibitions

The final exposure tool is this site where photographers present their latest projects and ideas. Every picture tells a story.

Enjoy the site and the work of the YPU photographers!
