Freelance photographer, filmmaker, author and mountaineer Caroline Fink takes over as Head of Photography & Digital Storytelling at Maz - the Swiss School of Journalism.
Caroline Fink will take up the position in January 2023, succeeding Reto Camenisch, who retired this year. "With Caroline Fink, we were able to fill this important position perfectly.

The 45-year-old has made a name for herself in the Swiss media industry as a photographer and in the fields of film, multimedia and text for over 20 years. Her contributions - focusing on mountains, people in the mountains and mountaineering - have appeared in publications such as the NZZ, GEO Switzerland, the Observer or the Swiss family as well as in special interest publications and on news platforms. Caroline Fink has also published several books and films. In recent years, she has also taught at the Maz, the Leica Academy Switzerland and the Kirchenfeld Gymnasium in Bern.
Caroline Fink studied sociology, journalism, and New German Literature at the University of Zurich and intensively studied the concept of the public sphere as well as Theodor W. Adorno's theory of the culture industry. She completed her studies with a licentiate thesis on "Democracy - Cultural and Structural Factors in Contrast".
