UNLEASH THE CREATOR WITHIN YOU

We want those people who have the special gift of seeing both the beautiful and the truly meaningful in the world around us to have the skills, knowledge and appropriate conditions to more easily realize their creative potential through the means of photography.

Photoworld is a community for anyone with a serious interest in photography and an open mind to meeting new people and ideas.
We believe that good photography is born from people with a rich culture and a broad worldview that allows them to make sense of the world around us in new and unexpected ways.

The focus of our activity is the development and enrichment of what we know and understand about the world of photography in its various directions.

Participating in Photoworld is a dedication to your creative development.

We offer two main directions:

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT

Here you will find a continuous source of inspiration, new ideas and challenges.

We will meet you both with prominent photographers and artists practicing different types of art. We will help you to build an increasingly complete picture of the realization of various creative ideas by meeting you with psychologists, managers, marketing specialists, etc.

– At least 2 meetings per month*, which will include interesting lectures and discussions, portfolio reviews, etc.
In them you will meet various specialists and practitioners and you will have the opportunity to enrich your knowledge and skills.

– Participation in an annual Photoworld exhibition. A large exhibition where we show the work of the most prominent authors from our community

– Participation in a progressive, modern and dynamically developing photography community. With us you will meet people who, like you, are looking for development, new ideas and challenges.

– Presentation and personal profile on the Photoworld platform. Each member of Photoworld has his own personal profile on our site in Bulgarian and English.

– Support in the development of your personal ideas and projects. We strive to support the individual development of each member of the organization, both with creative advice and practice, and with applying for various funding programs, finding the right people and contacts in the realization of various ideas.
