PHONEography CEBU celebrated its first anniversary last August 23, 2015 at Handuraw Pizza Events Cafe in Gorordo Avenue. It was attended by the members and PHONEography enthusiasts all over Cebu in different niches who were also showcasing their photos captured using their cellphones.
What is PHONEography CEBU?
PHONEography CEBU is a group of photography fanatics who uses their cellphones as a medium in capturing precious moments and alluring sceneries. The group is driven to promote photography without the need of conventional camera and aims to help the members improve their phoneography skills on their respective niches.
