Dragonfly Photography Owner and Principle Photographer Makes Team USA for the 2025 World Photographic Cup.
49 countries are participating in the highly anticipated international event co-founded by Professional Photographers of America.
Cleveland, Ohio-based photographer Oona Breyer recently won a spot on Team USA at the 2025 World Photographic Cup, to be held in March in Ecuador.
Breyer’s image “Just Married” was selected to be part of Team USA in the category of documentary wedding photography by a national association composed of professional photographers. The team was officially announced at the Imaging USA Grand Imaging Awards. The event was held on Monday, February 3, in Dallas, Texas.
“It’s a great honor to win a spot on Team USA,” said Breyer. “It’s an amazing group to be a part of. I love an opportunity to learn and grow as a photographer to serve our clients better, and to be recognized and given the chance to represent my country is just icing on the cake.”
The World Photographic Cup, co-founded by Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and the Federation of European Photographers (FEP), features 49 countries that will square off in 2025. The World Photographic Cup’s mission is to unite photographers in a spirit of friendship and cooperation.
Each country’s team picks its own photographers and images to enter. Teams may submit up to three images in each of ten categories: Commercial, Illustration/Digital Art, Nature Landscape, Nature Wildlife, Illustrative Portrait, Natural Portrait, Reportage/Photojournalism, Sports, Wedding Open, and Wedding Documentary. Teams may choose to enter the images of a single photographer in multiple categories; no single photographer may have multiple images entered into a single category.
Gold (1st), Silver (2nd), and Bronze (3rd) medals are awarded to the individual creator in each category. Teams are awarded points based on an aggregate score of the top ten placements in all categories. Then, the World Photographic Cup is awarded to the national team that receives the highest overall score. Team Spain won last year and took home the Cup for the second year in a row.
The winner of this year’s World Photographic Cup will be announced at the WPC Awards Ceremony in Ecuador in 2025. For more information on the World Photographic Cup, and to view the finalist images from around the world, visit WorldPhotographicCup.org.
