The country’s longest-running international photographers’ conference!
Photo World Asia 2017 will be on January 26-31 in Makati, Philippines, the 31st edition of the international conference of photographers and photography trade show held under the auspices of the Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation.

There are two components of the event: the photography trade show at the Glorietta Ayala Malls will showcase the latest trends and products in the industry, with major camera manufacturers and suppliers attending, and the international photographers’ conference at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) where photographers can learn from each other’s experiences to improve their craft.
Chairman for Photo World Asia 2017 is Prof. Joey Tañedo, professor at the UP College of Fine Arts, FPPF instructor, and Visual Arts director at the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. Theme for the 2017 conference is: “Tell Your Stories Well with Better Photography”.
Photo World Asia 2017 is on Jan 26-31 at the Asian Institute of Management in Makati. Top photographers will speak at the convention and share their perspectives.
Be there to talk to them, exchange ideas, meet old friends and make new ones. PWA 2017 is the 31st edition of the annual event under the Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation.

Both are accomplished award-winning photojournalists, with long lists of awards and published works between them, telling the story of Davao and Mindanao as only people with deep connections to the place can. They have produced works for television, books, magazines and newspapers. Rhonson and Jojie will deliver back-to-back lectures at Photo World Asia 2017.
Per-Andre Hoffmann

Per-Andre's photographs have been exhibited in museums worldwide and his works on photography appear in specialist publications in over 50 countries. Hoffmann is a multiple brand ambassador for CANON and other companies.
Charlie Lim
Singaporean photographer has developed an art form that he calls Oil Painting Photography, a genre that shot him to international fame. He styles himself as a painter of light. Charlie's images dwell on the boundaries of fine art and photography.
In an age where digital manipulation has become ubiquitous, Charlie is a rebel. The key to his Oil Painting Photography is simplicity. Dimmed room, light torch, camera, action. In the hands of a master photographer, digital enhancement is minimal.
Charlie Lim was recently included by World Wide Art Books, publisher of the International Masters of Photography Volume II, a juried annual, invite-only art photography publication presenting noteworthy photographers from all over the world.
Christophe Loviny
French photojournalist tells excellent stories with his photographs and with his books. He has traveled the world for over 40 years and documented its stories with passion, empathy, and dignity. In the late 1980s he moved to Cambodia, settled in the ancient city of Angkor, and documented its people and culture. Loviny has published several books, including “Danseuses Sacrees d'Angkor” (The Sacred Dancers of Angkor), “Aung San Suu Kyi: A Portrait in Words and Pictures”, “Che: The Photobiography of Che Guevara”, and “JFK: Remembering Jack”. Loviny will speak at Photo World Asia 2017 to share his experiences as photographer, and you will have a chance to interact with him personally at the photographers’ conference.
Romy Gacad
A veteran photojournalist of many wars and struggles. He covered the tumultuous Martial Law years in the Philippines, the communist insurgencies, the assassination of Ninoy Aquino, and Mindanao secessionist fights. He later joined Agence France Press and covered three US wars: the 1991 Gulf War, 2001 war in Afghanistan, and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He also covered the Olympic Games from 1988 to 2004. Gacad has been nominated 3 times for his photographs of the 1988 Olympics, the 2001 Afghanistan war and the 2003 Iraq war. Pick the brain of the veteran war photographer when he speaks during Photo World Asia 2017. Attend the international photographers’ conference at the AIM.
