I’m thrilled to share that in my very first participation in the International Photography Awards (IPA) 2025, three out of four of my submitted pictures/series have been selected for the official final selection. The IPA is ranked among the top five photography competitions worldwide.
Note on category selection: I registered as a professional in this contest based on the IPA’s definition, which includes photographers who “sell or publish their work regularly.” Since I regularly publish my work (e.g., in contests and prints), I meet that criterion. However, photography is not a source of income for me, and I have always participated in other competitions as an amateur photographer. despite the recognition I’ve received.
