What are the in-person Portfolio Reviews?
The In-Person Portfolio Reviews are the heart of the Photolucida 2009 festival.
Gallery owners, curators, critics, collectors and publishers representing
small, mid-sized, and major venues from all over the US and abroad, gather in
Portland to review work.
Photographers at the mid-career level register for one-on-one meetings with the reviewers of their choice.
Each review session lasts for 20 minutes and we limit the number of participants to assure that
everyone receives 4 or 5 reviews per day.
It's a great way to network.
Numerous photographers have walked away with opportunities to exhibit, publish and sell
their work after attending the Portfolio Reviews.
Participants of the Portfolio Reviews are eligible to stay at the Benson Hotel
at a special Photolucida rate. If you choose to stay at the hotel during the
Portfolio Reviews, please inform the Benson that you are a Photolucida
participant when registering for rooms at the hotel.
Level of Work Expected at Portfolio Reviews
Photolucida does not jury it’s Portfolio Reviews, but we strive to keep the level of work of participants high.
Participants should be mid-career photographers, with a recent history of exhibitions and/or publication.
For a good reference of where your work should be professionally, please look at the work of artists in Critical Mass Top 50.
Photographer's Master Index
All participants (both reviewers and photographers) will receive a printed Photographer's Master Index.
The index will include contact information for each photographer, along with a full color large thumbnail image representative of each participant's work.
The Portfolio Walk
Registered photographers can also participate in the Portfolio Walk. The
portfolio walk, hosted for one evening during the festival, is an exhibition of
the portfolios of all the photographers participating in the Portfolio Reviews.
It gives the photographers, the reviewers, and the general community a chance
to see all the great work that has collected for the Portfolio Reviews. In
previous years this has been a very successful event, drawing in large numbers
of viewers.
