Photojournalists are more than just photographers. Through their lenses, they become historians, capturing images that are powerful, engaging, and deeply moving. They play an integral role in newsrooms and help bridge gaps through visual storytelling.
Noel Celis (Photo from worldpressphoto.org)That’s exactly what the World Press Photo Contest aims to recognize and celebrate through its annual competition. The 2025 edition received over 59,000 entries from 141 countries, with 42 winners selected—one of whom is Filipino photojournalist Noel Celis.
Noel’s “Four Storms, 12 Days” documents the four cyclones—three of which developed into typhoons—that struck the Philippines in October and November 2024. His images, which depict both the destruction and aftermath of these typhoons in northern Philippines, were published by the Associated Press.
“‘Four Storms, 12 Days’ by Noel Celis, Associated Press, is one of the three winners in the Stories category for the Asia-Pacific and Oceania region of the 2025 World Press Photo Contest,” the World Press Photo Contest 2025 announced.
Noel previously worked with the Manila Bulletin in 2007 before pursuing a career with the international news agency Agence France-Presse. He now works as a freelancer and stringer for the Associated Press. His images—focusing on typhoon disasters and former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs—have been featured in Time magazine.
