Portfolio Reviews 1/2

Open to everyone

Gallery of Photography

3rd July, 2:00 pm

Day 1 of PhotoIreland Portfolio Reviews, held at The Lightroom, the recently opened extension to the Gallery of Photography.
This first session will run from 3pm to 6pm on Saturday the 3rd of July.
Bookings should be made directly at the Gallery of Photography. Book early to avoid disappointment.

The Portfolio Reviews are the best way to engage on a critical discussion about a body of work. They are designed for any and all photographers who wish to develop a practice in a specific field and are looking for advice on a critical and technical approach. It is also a great opportunity to raise questions over particular issues regarding your statement as an artist. These reviews also serve to develop contacts that would help your career. You are welcome to bring with you a few business cards or postcards to make easy for people to contact you.

You should bring a portfolio of 10-20 images that represents a cohesive practice, although you are welcome to present separate projects. It is important that you present your work both physically and verbally in a professional manner. Have a concise description of the work at hand if needed, and respect the views of your reviewer and peers. Present your work well printed and grouped, as much as easy to access and to take away.

Each participant will have 20 minutes to discuss with a reviewer. After each 20 minutes you should be ready to move to another reviewer. The €15 fee allows you to engage 2 reviewers, but we will be flexible if slots become available.
