The Indian Photo Festival (IPF), India’s longest-running international photography event, returns in 2025 as a leading platform for global and socially engaged visual storytelling. Since its inception, the festival has showcased diverse perspectives and untold narratives that challenge perceptions and inspire empathy around contemporary issues.
Beyond exhibitions, IPF functions as a vibrant educational space, offering workshops, masterclasses, talks, and portfolio reviews led by renowned photographers and mentors from around the world. These sessions nurture emerging talent and foster dialogue between professionals, students, and audiences.
A major highlight of the festival, the IPF Portrait Prize, continues to recognise and celebrate promising photographers from the Indian subcontinent with significant awards. Free and open to all, the Indian Photo Festival remains committed to making world-class photography, learning, and exchange accessible to everyone.

1. A light shawl or jacket. Hyderabad, located in the northern part of the Deccan Plateau, has a tropical wet and dry climate and a chilly winter season that lasts from October to February, and peaks in December. A hat or a scarf is always a good idea.
2. Comfortable footwear. Sensible shoes or trainers are a great option.
3. COVID packs: Hand sanitiser, extra masks and a copy of your vaccination certificate are things you should keep handy.
