The IPF Portrait Prize 2025 just dropped its winning images, and trust me—these portraits hit with the kind of energy that stops you mid-scroll. 20 Incredible Winning Photos from the IPF Portrait Prize 2025 isn’t just a gallery; it’s a full-blown celebration of identity, culture, emotion, and everything that makes portrait photography one of the most powerful art forms out there.
The Indian Photo Festival’s Portrait Prize has become one of the hottest platforms for photographers across the Indian subcontinent. Portraiture has always carried weight in the photography world—from those classic studio portraits your grandparents posed for, to raw, modern-day explorations of who we are and how we show up. And this year’s winners? They go way beyond a simple face in a frame. These photographers captured soul, struggle, joy, roots, rebellion—real stories that stay with you.
What makes this award so special is the way it lifts both rising talents and seasoned pros, giving them space to share their vision with the world. These images spark conversations about identity, culture, diversity, and representation—topics that matter now more than ever. And honestly, the storytelling in these frames is unmatched. You can feel the heartbeat of entire communities in some shots, while others zoom in on intimate moments that feel almost sacred.
Huge shoutout to this year’s judge, Kiran Karnani, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Harlowe, for leading the selection of these unforgettable portraits.
All 20 winning images will be showcased at the Indian Photo Festival from November 20th, 2025, to January 4th, 2026, at the State Art Gallery in Hyderabad. If you’re anywhere near the city, this is one exhibition you don’t wanna miss.
