Por primera vez, la isla de Menorca, España, transformed into a living stage where photography broke free of white walls and flooded into streets, convents, cafés, private homes, and open landscapes.

Four days. Countless conversations. New friendships. Big ideas. Powerful photography.

The first edition of Raw Photo Fest brought together visual storytellers, gallerists, publishers, collectors and photography-lovers from around the world for an unforgettable few days in Menorca, Spain. From exhibitions and talks by Steve McCurry, Lee Shulman & Martin Parr, Tino Soriano, Ed Kash, John Stanmeyer, Sage Sohier, Women Street Photographers, National Geographic Society, Felipe Dana from Associated Press and Capture One…to portfolio reviews with Dan Milnor, Anette Skuggedal from Lumina Gallery, Sarah Leen and Andrea Holzherr from Magnum Photos, photobooks, shared meals, late-night conversations, and unexpected encounters, the festival became a space where photography sparked connections, challenged perspectives, and opened new possibilities.

This short video captures just a small glimpse of the energy, creativity, and community that made this first edition so special. A big thank you goes out to all our patrons, sponsors, collaborators, partners and all the amazing people who joined us in Menorca to celebrate photography!
