Menschenbilder Österreich is one of the largest collaborative photography exhibitions in the German-speaking world: 787 professional photographers showcase more than 1,850 images — portraits, documentary series, and social snapshots that reveal the full range of craft and perspective the medium has to offer. The initiative unites photographers from all nine Austrian federal states, makes exhibition dates easily discoverable across the country, and gives every participant their own dedicated portfolio page. The brief called for a platform that puts the storytelling format of portrait photography front and centre — structuring a rich regional community without burying it under cluttered navigation.
- TYPO3 website with state-by-state navigation covering all nine Austrian federal states — from Burgenland to Vienna
- Photographer directory with individual portfolio pages for all 787 participants
- Exhibition and event listing organised by region — a single destination for visitors and organisers alike
- Presentation of over 1,850 submitted images in portrait and documentary format
- Storytelling-first structure: thematic photo series rather than plain gallery grids
- Clean, image-led design that keeps editorial overhead low for the community
- Reliable TYPO3 foundation — low maintenance, built to grow alongside the exhibition
The result is a platform that makes a thriving community of professional photographers visible — without letting technology get in the way of the work. Built with rockit, the Menschenbilder Österreich website gives the exhibition a digital home that scales with its ambition and keeps Austria's portrait photography scene firmly on the map.
