Digital society produces an exponential infinity of photographs, which demands that the photographic discipline conduct rigorous analysis from educational, social, and professional perspectives.

Today, the blurred boundaries of photographic action make reflection from a multiple and multidisciplinary perspective essential, one that proposes a new photographic culture. For this reason, since 2018 the BEPHOTO congress has investigated critical discussion about the creative, aesthetic, and conceptual processes of contemporary imagery. Processes that are marked both by the artistic action they represent, as well as by the spaces of participation where they are produced, which opens up countless possibilities that demonstrate the mutability and adaptability of the medium.

BEPHOTO International Congress of Contemporary Photography, was born as a satellite initiative of PHOTOALICANTE International Photography Festival that seeks to establish links between academic reflection and professional and artistic praxis.
