The International Photographic Council (IPC) launched a new website, designed to celebrate and recognize photography’s profound impact as a universal language connecting people across the globe. The redesigned website showcases artist spotlights featuring some of the world’s most accomplished photographers, the first of which will be renowned photographer and National Geographic Explorer, Stephen Wilkes, who is widely recognized for his fine art, editorial, and commercial work. Another key feature includes highlights of the work of emerging student photographers, underscoring IPC’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of photographic talent. The inaugural student showcase will feature Nina Perricone, a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and one of IPC’s James L. Chung Memorial Scholarship recipients.

“IPC is one of the longest-standing industry organizations dedicated to supporting all facets of the imaging industry, with a special focus on the power of photography to transcend cultural and linguistic barriers,” said Bing Liem, who serves as the IPC President, in addition to his role as Division President of the Imaging Division at FUJIFILM North America Corp. “As a Civil Society Organization formally associated with the United Nations Department of Global Communications, we are proud to continue this mission. Furthermore, we are passionate about fostering the future of our beloved industry by encouraging interaction between photography students and established industry leaders, providing them a platform to share their portfolios and perspectives.

“A key objective for us is to actively involve up-and-coming professionals. To achieve this, we partnered with the Command+g Design Lab, a student-run design studio at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), which helped create a modern, engaging website experience that resonates with the expectations of Generation Z users.”

“It was an honor to work with the outstanding team at the International Photographic Council on this project,” said Keli DiRisio, Creative Director, Command+g Design Lab and Program Director/Associate Professor of Graphic Design, RIT. “Photography and the creative arts are part of our every day in our program, so when Command+g Design Lab was invited to redesign IPC’s website, we embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and excitement. This collaboration offered an incredible learning experience for our students and an exciting opportunity for our studio to partner with such a passionate and dedicated team in bringing its vision to life.”

Mark your calendars for the annual IPC Professional Photographers Award Luncheon on May 6, 2026.
