Want to get feedback on your portfolio from some of your most talented peers? This is an amazing opportunity to talk shop, network, and fine tune your presentation especially if you're preparing for traditional portfolio reviews. You'll meet with 3 reviewers for 15 minutes each to discuss your overall body of work, website, specific projects, or whatever else you might want feedback on. Grow your confidence in talking about your work and receive constructive criticism for how to keep building a portfolio that wins jobs!
Please bring your work in a way that you feel best showcases it whether it's a printed portfolio book, loose prints, or a presentation or website shown on your iPad. We'll be covering this + other ways to prepare for a portfolio review in our upcoming Second Saturday on 1/18 with Keith Grieger (Warner Bros Discovery Director of Still Photography) and Stephanie Eley (Portrait & Entertainment Photographer).
Three (3) portfolio reviews are included. Sessions will be divided into morning and afternoon blocks. If your schedule allows, you may select reviewers from either block. We will do our best to pair you with your top choices, but we cannot guarantee that you will get reviews with all of your picks.
