The ninth edition of IPF will host 39 exhibitions — 29 physical and ten digital. One of the physically exhibited shows will be the IPF Portrait Prize 2023, a competition for all portrait photographers in India, and 20 finalists have been picked. The winners are awarded a cash prize of ₹2,00,000 and camera gear. Selected works will be displayed at the festival.
According to the festival director Aquin Mathews, the 2023 Open Call for exhibitions received submissions from 50 countries and an international jury panel selected 20 works from them. “Simultaneously, we also reach out directly to renowned photographers whose work aligns with the festival’s vision,” he adds.
IPF celebrates photography as an art form and provides a platform for photographers to share their unique perspectives and narratives.
“One of the main inspirations behind the inception of the festival was to create an ecosystem for photographers where they could showcase their work, connect with fellow artists, and gain exposure to a wider audience,” Mathews says.
