Camera Club of the Philippines

In commemoration of the 200th year of photography (1826-2026) this August, and in celebration of the 98th anniversary of the Camera Club of the Philippines, CCP Vision Lab presents a timely and important conversation with two Filipino photojournalists on the place of photojournalism in Philippine society. Both recipients of the World Press Photo 2026 award, Jes Aznar and Aaron Favila, will share their experiences covering major events, the stories behind some of their most memorable images, and, most importantly, their reflections on the role of photojournalism in documenting events, informing the public, and shaping public understanding.

"Creativity and Vision in the Age of AI: A Landscape Photographer's Perspective" invites CCP members and their guests to reflect on the place of photography in a rapidly changing image culture.

To be led by architectural and landscape photographer Jay Jallorina (Jay Jallorina), the session explores how photographers can continue to cultivate vision, creativity, and authorship as AI reshapes the ways images are made, shared, and understood. Drawing from over 20 years of experience in landscape and commercial photography, Jallorina offers a perspective on sustaining a thoughtful photographic practice in the age of artificial intelligence.

In Memoriam
Rudy "Mang Rudy" De Leon
Double Lifetime Member
52-Year Member, Camera Club of the Philippines
Six-Time Master Photographer

It is with deep sadness that the Camera Club of the Philippines announces the passing of Rudy "Mang Rudy" De Leon, one of the most respected and beloved figures in Philippine photography.

For 52 years, Mang Rudy exemplified what it meant to be a true clubman. A double Lifetime Member and the only six-time Master Photographer in the history of the Camera Club of the Philippines, he devoted his life not only to the pursuit of photographic excellence but also to mentoring generations of photographers with generosity, humility, and quiet grace.

His remarkable body of work earned admiration, but it was his character that endeared him to so many. Whether behind the camera, serving the Club, or encouraging a fellow photographer, Mang Rudy always led by example.

As the Camera Club of the Philippines approaches its Centennial, we are reminded that our institution stands on the shoulders of members like Mang Rudy, whose lifelong dedication helped shape the Club and inspire countless others to see the world with greater beauty and purpose.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and everyone whose lives he touched.

Thank you, Mang Rudy, for your lifetime of service, your artistry, and your friendship. Your legacy will live on in every photographer you inspired and in every image that continues to tell your story.

Rest in peace.

Atty. Paul J. Resurreccion
President
Camera Club of the Philippines

Featured Photographer:

Rudy De Leon
52-Year Member, Camera Club of the Philippines
6-Time CCP Master Photographer

For more than five decades, Rudy De Leon has stood among the enduring pillars of the Camera Club of the Philippines. A quiet master of landscape photography, his work reflects not only technical mastery, but also patience, restraint, and a profound sensitivity to the land and light of the Philippines.

His photographs are marked by a contemplative sense of space, images that reveal grandeur not through spectacle alone, but through atmosphere, timing, and emotional clarity. Across generations of photographers within the Club, De Leon’s work has become synonymous with disciplined seeing and enduring photographic craftsmanship.

Featured in this exhibition is Rolling Hills, photographed in the rolling landscapes of Batanes. Beneath a dramatic sky alive with textured cloud formations, the hills unfold with quiet rhythm while distant cattle trace the horizon line, creating a scene both monumental and intimate. The image captures the timeless qualities that have defined De Leon’s body of work: simplicity, balance, and reverence for place.

As the Camera Club of the Philippines approaches its centennial year, Rudy De Leon’s photographs remind us of the enduring legacy of Philippine photography and of the generations of image-makers who helped shape its visual history.
