Sirmione Photo Residency: all the participants of the 2025 edition
168 projects presented from 30 different countries around the world

What happens when photographers from every corner of the planet answer the same call?
An open book is born on the world made of sensibilities and visual narratives: this is the response to the fourth edition of the Sirmione Photo Residency, which this year has collected 168 proposals from 30 countries around the world.
Each project is a personal way of observing reality, transforming it, questioning it. Some look at the intimate, others at the landscape, others at conflicts, memory, identity. Together they compose a collective portrait of our time through the lens.
Below is the complete list of participants, along with the titles of their projects. Where available, also links to their online portfolio. In case of absence of a portfolio, we invite you to communicate it to cultura@sirmionebs.it, so that we can add it promptly.
