If we have $\ce{A + T -> P}$ where $\ce{A}$ is the analyte, $\ce{T}$ is the titrant, and $\ce{P}$ is the product, photometric titration happens only in one condition, that one of the following substances will absorb the electromagnetic radiation.
When stable complexes formed such as $\ce{Bi}$-EDTA, they will not absorb the radiation (or in small amounts), but when unstable complexes formed such as $\ce{Cu}$-EDTA, they will absorb highly. The same goes also for the acids. Strong acids will absorb much less the electromagnetic radiation than the weak acids. The reason for this is that strong acids are completely dissociated.
Why does that indicate the photometric titration ?
