 ==Programme==
-* Solo exhibitions
-Alongside up to 8 exhibition annual the Gallery organises also lectures, screenings of the masters and project presentations. The exhibiting programme is mostly marked by solo exhibitions. Comparing to early years is this programme recently dedicated mostly to the presentation of international established artists. In 2009 the Gallery features 2 solo exhibitions of Slovene authors ([[Tihomir Pintar]] and [[Žiga Koritnik]]), in the year before 3 Slovene photographers  ([[Bojan Radovič]], [[Igor Andjelić]], [[Aleš Bravničar]]). In 2004, the first year of the Galerija Fotografija operation there was featured 7 Slovene solo exhibitions([[Neca Falk]], [[Marko Jamnik]], [[Matjaž Krivic]], [[Sibil Slejko]], [[Jože Suhadolnik]], [[Tomo Jeseničnik]], and [[Joco Žnidaršič]]) and one tandem ([[Bojan Brecelj and Saša Petejan]]).
-In 2004 the Gallery featured the work of Helmut Newton. In 2009 the exhibition of American photographer Sheila Metzner (working also for numerous magazines like Vanity Fair and Vogue, also for clients as Chanel, Victoria's Secret, Ralph Lauren, Valentino) was prepared in the cooperation with [[Emzin Institute of Creative Production]].

-Very significant for the Galerija Fotografija are group exhibitions. One of the first was the ''Today About Yesterday'' featuring the great names of Slovene photography as [[Stojan Kerbler]], [[Alenka Vidrgar]], or [[Dragan Arrigler]]. In 2006 the most prominent international names of photography history was shown on the exhibition entitled Art & Photography (Archipenko, Chagall, Christo, Kandinsky, Matisse, Miró, Picasso, Rauschenberg, Soto, Vasarely, Warhol, Wesselman, Doisneau, Klein, Modotti, Newton, Taylor-Wood, Sieff, Wegman and some others). The same year the gallery gave the podium to the exhibition entitled ''American Photography Week'' including also works of William Wegman, Diane Arbus, and Nan Goldin.
-In 2007 [[Marina Gržinić]] as a curator prepared for the Galerija Fotografija together with the producer Bojan Radovič (The House of Photography, Slovenia) the group exhibition ''Not-quite/not-right: histories, bodies and concepts in conteporary photography'' featuring works of  [[Tomaž Gregorič]], [[IRWIN]], [[Jane Štravs]], Trie and [[Aleksandra Vajd]] and Hynek Alt. The exhibition brought to the surface of photography (dis)proportions and strategies that were detected by the curator as structural interventions within contemporary photography, its history and the politics of representation. The primary concern of the exhibition was to display a paradigm of photography understood in the process of its fabrication and artificiality, being based on carefully staged and (re)played performances and performative actions behind and in front of the camera.

+Galerija Fotografija also prepares curated group exhibitions. One of the first was the exhibition ''Today About Yesterday'' featuring the great names of Slovene photography such as [[Stojan Kerbler]] and [[Dragan Arrigler]].

-The same year the Galerija Fotografija featured the exhibition of famous photographers who dedicated most of their professional interest to the subject of nude and eroticism. Entitled ''Masters of Erotic Photography'' it presented the selection of the most typical works by Nobuyoshi Araki, Ralph Gibson, Nan Goldin, Helmut Newton, and Jeanloup Sieff.
-Famous international names of the photography were exhibited also in 2009, when the Galerija Fotografija cooperated with the Gallery Remixx from Graz, Austria. Under the title ''Fine European Vintage Prints and Photo – Collages'' they exhibited also work of Man Ray, Drtikol, Blossfeld, Inge Morath, Schwarzkogler, Brus, Weibel and Mühl, Mapplethorpe, Lenart and many others.
