There is a lack of discourse of photography in the Philippines. And when we say discourse, we refer to it in a manner that is an understanding of photography not only by its mediatic conception, but more encompassively as the recognition of Photography (uppercased) as a site of human experience. The latter framing allows for the expansion of exposition of Photography that goes BEYOND the traditional categories of studies to which it is associated it, namely Commercial Arts, Communication Arts, and Fine Arts.

This episode is an overview of Contemporary Trends in Philippine Photography from 2005 to 2023 that looks at the topic through various perspectives (framing, tangential references, and intersectional understanding).

This episode provides a cursory look at the framework of the on-going project by Photography Chismis PH.

Thank you for joining us tonight for Episode 6 of the Marites Talks: Kwentuhan Sessions on Philippine Photography, entitled, Contemporary Trends in Philippine Photography.
