Welcome to the 1st FPC International Virtual Photography Festival.

The idea of ​​launching a virtual photography festival emerged years ago; I previously organized it three times for a national association I founded and presided over, achieving great success.

Now, the time has come to organize the festival for the young FPC.

We have chosen “MY COUNTRY” as the theme for the 1st FPC International Virtual Photography Festival.

The concept here is to bring together photography clubs from various nations and allow each country to showcase its unique identity through photography.

Every country possesses its own distinct ethnic makeup, traditions, cultural heritage, and culture. Through photography, we can share the elements that make our countries unique with the rest of the world.

Photographers—as well as photography clubs, competitions, and major photography organizations—must keep pace with evolving photographic technology, study current trends and needs, and stay informed about these developments.

It is wonderful to have so many organizations and clubs from diverse cultures, countries, and continents; in this digital world, we must work together to coexist and collaborate.

At FPC, we are dedicated to popularizing and advancing the art of photography. We strive to share the fun and joy of photography with audiences everywhere.

This festival is being organized without any sponsorship or advertising revenue. We hope to secure sponsors and advertisers for future festivals to make them even bigger and better. I believe that with everyone’s support, we can achieve this.

Let us now enjoy the festival—welcome to the 1st FPC International Virtual Photography Festival.
