Kristina Zwirner is chairwoman of the association photography unlimited e.V. and has a talent for motivating people. This has not only benefited her in her studies of communication, as team leader at the Berliner Morgenpost or in her current position at the German publishing house LZ Medien. At p: berlin, too, she always keeps an eye on the team and takes care of administrative issues such as organization and accounting, as well as communications and cooperations. One of the ways she balances her work is by running marathons.

Ralph Rosenbauer loves to discover the world photographically. His professional career led him from a humanistic school education to archaeology and history studies to design & engineering at the Swiss camera manufacturer ALPA. Besides his interest in photography, his passion for knowledge transfer brought him to p: berlin – the latter is a matter close to his heart and the reason why he volunteers as an organizer and lecturer for the development of the p: berlin academy. When he is not inventing new teaching concepts, he is riding on a horseback or playing beach volleyball.
