Founded in 2006, Gesellschaft für Humanistische Fotografie e.V. (GfHF) supports engaged photographers and photography that deals with societally relevant topics. In solo shows and group exhibitions, it presents the work of renowned and emerging contemporary photographers. In 2017, GfHF opened an exhibition space in Berlin-Mitte. f³ – freiraum für fotografie presents five to six exhibitions of international art photography each year. In addition, artist talks with photographers, discussions and workshops are held regularly.

The education program of GfHF is oriented toward a large spectrum of target groups: young people, young displaced persons, adults, senior citizens and marginalized minorities. In workshops and seminars, they work with a variety of photographic genres and learn critical analysis as well as how to reflectively deal with images in the flood of media that makes up our daily lives.
