ABOUT US:
Photography Chismis PH is a project dedicated to promoting meaningful conversations about Photography in the Philippines. Our primary platform is Facebook, where we share think pieces, news, events, and references. Additionally, we have a YouTube page for hosting video recordings, Spotify for podcasts, and Instagram for short-form content. We have also participated in live events in the marketplace, schools, corporations, and art exhibits. Past partners include the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), Philippine Normal University - Institute for Knowledge Management, FOTOMOTOPH, SFAD JCB Gallery - Philippine Women's University, Ateneo Art Gallery, Tarzeer Pictures, Filipino Freelance Journalists' Guild, Photojournalists' Center of the Philippines, Sunny16 Studios, and the School of New Media Arts at De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde.

Photography Chismis PH is a non-profit, self-funded project composed of volunteers. We operate through the generous support of friends, colleagues, and members of the community.

Insights is the special publication of Photography Chismis PH which aims to encourage and promote thoughtful writing about Photography in the Philippines. Insights: Issue One - On Mapping and Imaginings was launched on August 19, 2023. Insights: Issue Two - The Complex was announced on August 19, 2024 and will be published in September 2024. In partnership with Parallax Photo Journal, the Parallax Feature Grant was launched in 2024 to encourage and support writing on documentary photography and photojournalism, focusing on the Southeast Asia, and in particular the Philippines.
