Description

Are you about to embark on a personal photographic project and would like to review your ideas and approach with an expert? Do you have a long term project that you need help editing and sequencing? Are you a mid-career photographer struggling to figure out your photographic vision or where you are going next with your career?

This online portfolio review will help photographers identify their next step — from finding your photographic voice, to the process of discovering and making a long-term project that you’re passionate about, to practical advice on getting your work seen by the right people.

This 60-minute online portfolio review offers:

  • Guidance on technical, ethical, theoretical and aesthetic issues

  • Workflow
  • Output and presentation
  • Professional Practice
  • Online Networking

 

Photography runs through everything in our present time. I am interested in seeing the images that stir something in you, knowing how they provoke you, how they shake your consciousness and depict your relationship with the world around us. When I review portfolios I seek to provide the photographer with a selection of production strategies and conceptualization of an idea to generate an image and this image generates a story that can trigger the author's vision.
