Group Portfolio Review with dienacht Publishing

Mar 13, 2–7 pm Berlin time (UCT+1)

Portfolio review offers an opportunity to present, question and get professional feedback on your body of work, be it a completed photo series, an ongoing documentary project, a body of work photographed over a certain period of time, (seemingly) miscellaneous photographs that you struggle to put together in whatever format (portfolio, book, exhibition, etc) you want.

More often than not it is quite challenging for a photographer to have a detached view on their work and to make an objective judgment. That’s where the mentors (as professional publishers and exhibitors) and other portfolio review members (as your direct audience and colleagues) will help to reflect with a fresh perspective on your work and to move it forward.

This online portfolio review format by dienacht Publishing combines individual review and group discussion, which allows participants not only to get individual professional feedback on their work but also to benefit from discovering and discussing other works, and a variety of mentors’ approaches to them.

Each participant will have a 30-minute session with Calin and Yana, devoted solely to the discussion of their work. Other participants will be able to fully follow and benefit from the discussion of other projects. Participants are also welcome to engage in a group discussion to contribute to the review process.

Depending on your work and goals, you might consider having a portfolio review if:
– you need feedback on a specific photo project;
– you feel stuck in your project and need an outside look to find out what ­direction to take;
– you need advice on how to finish your project – an exhibition, installation, photobook, etc.;
– you have very different photo series and need advice on how to select and/or organize them in one portfolio.
