With the aim of producing photographic documentation of its living traditions, which are included in the inventory of the Vaud’s intangible heritage, the Canton of Vaud has entrusted six photographers, selected by competition, to produce original projects. In this exhibition, Thomas Brasey, Olga Cafiero, Sarah Carp, Matthieu Gafsou, Yves Leresche and Romain Mader reveal the result of their photographic investigation before their pictures become part of Photo Elysée’s collection.

Photo Elysée and Parmigiani Fleurier are delighted to announce the winner of the Prix Elysée 2025: Iranian photographer Hannah Darabi for her series Why Don't You Dance?. She was selected by an international jury among eight nominated projects.

Photo Elysée is honored to announce the registration of the Ella Maillart and Annemarie Schwarzenbach archives in UNESCO’s Mémoire du monde Register.

The exhibition Sport in Focus will be presented jointly at the Photo Elysée from March 28 to August 17 and at the Olympic Museum from May 27 to August 17.
