For the most part we come to Art Fair Philippines for its smorgasbord of paintings, sculpture, installations, and performance art, until four years ago when organizers formally launched AFP/Photo, a section in the fair dedicated to position photography as contemporary art. Since then, the program has been one of the most talked about segments of the fair and continues its steady momentum by introducing fresh names to its roster of photographers for this year’s line-up of exhibits.
