Early in the coming year, PhotoWorld 2025 opens with a bang, with new event highlights and features. Running from January 30 to February 2 at the Ayala Glorietta Activity Center in Makati, there is something in store for everyone visiting the Philippines’ foremost photography summit and showcase. This time around, organizers aim to capture the enthusiasm of photography “newbies”, in addition to the multitudes of professionals who have made the event an annual red-letter weekend.
Themed “Fusion”, the coming photography extravaganza will now include the latest in video and AI (artificial intelligence) as well — the 2 visual formats being all but inseparable nowadays. Due to the fact that all modern phones have these 2 features, the potential to create more visual media professionals is greater than ever before.

An Urban PhotoSafari and Street Photography Photowalk 4. The Latest Global Photo and Video Developments One visit to PhotoWorld will have you leaving with fresh pro moves and better ways to capture the human condition and beauty all around us.
