Portfolio Reviews can be a great way for photographers to get seen by the people who are in positions to hire them, or it can be a waste of time and money.

Building a solid portfolio, choosing the images you are going to show, and how you are going to present those images, are just two of the considerations that determine if your portfolio reviews will be successful, or fall flat.

What are the other considerations? What are the things you might be doing that torpedo your review before it even gets started? Do you have a clear goal for your review? How to handle an action at the end, (eg: can I stay in touch with you for further reviews? What’s the best way to connect? Would you be interested in______? Can I give you my card?) What are some tips, some best practices for getting it right?

Traci, Jana and Rebecca have been in the portfolio review trenches, and in this conversation these two experienced creatives will help enlighten you, and guide you in the right direction for your next review.

This event is free to attend. Seating is limited. Registration required. Register at the link above.

NEW, FREE IN-PERSON EVENT: Friday, June 19, 7PM: The Process of Intent with Travis Keyes: Editing is where the story inside the image comes into focus. 🔴Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-process-of-intent-with-travis-keyes-tickets-1989993908349?aff=oddtdtcreator. Held in-person at Soho Photo Gallery.

In this workshop, Travis W Keyes will take an image from RAW capture to finished edit through the lens of inspiration, storytelling, and creative intention. This will be a Lightroom Classic–dominant session, with select moments in Photoshop, exploring how the storytelling tools of color, lighting, composition, contrast, and subtle refinement can shape the emotional direction of an image. While the live workflow will focus on Lightroom Classic and Photoshop, the tools and techniques discussed are applicable to any processing workflow.
Together, we will look beyond simply “fixing” a photo and focus on crafting a finished image that reflects the artist’s intent. What is the story? Where should the viewer’s eye go? What feeling should remain after they look away?

🔴As part of the workshop, Travis will select 2–3 RAW files, submitted in advance, for a live Edit with Intent session. Selected images will be edited live with the photographer, walking through the creative choices that bring the final image to life. To be considered, please submit your RAW file. After you register, the dropbox link to submit your RAW FILE will be sent to you.

🎯The event is free to attend. Seating is limited. Registration required. Register at the link above.

HAPPENING TOMORROW NIGHT! New ONLINE EVENT from Soho Photo Gallery: Wednesday, June 10, 7PM ET: The Threads We Share: Cyanotype on Fabric: 🎯Get more info and/or register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/threads-we-share-cyanotype-on-fabric-tickets-1990414958722?aff=oddtdtcreator

In this Zoom presentation, two photographic artists, Kevin Rose Schultz and Jessie Swimeley, will share with us the work they do with cyanotype emulsion on fabric. Schultz has crafted cyanotype quilts, dresses, jackets, and scarves. She often uses embroidery techniques to embellish these garments. She will walk us through some of her techniques and instruct us on the care of cyanotype garments.

Jessie Swimeley will talk about her cyanotype work, highlighting her “Pandemic in Blue” quilt project. During COVID, she sent materials to over 50 artists in her community, asking them to create a cyanotype image on fabric that reflected how they were feeling about “their time in isolation, the pandemic, and the fight for social justice.”

🎯This event is FREE and all are welcome. Registration is required to receive your Zoom Link.

🎯Please note: Your Zoom link will be emailed to you before the event, to the email address associated with your EventBrite account.
