What are the in-person Portfolio Reviews?

The In-Person Portfolio Reviews are the heart of the Photolucida 2011 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 for four days. 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.

Level of Work Expected at Portfolio Reviews

Photolucida does not jury its Portfolio Reviews, but we strive to keep the level of work of participants high. Participants should be mid-career fine-art 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. While Photolucida does not jury, we do reserve the right to limit acceptance to participants who meet these criteria.

Photographer's Participant Index

All participants (both reviewers and photographers) will receive a photographer's Participant Index. The index will include contact information for each photographer, along with a full color large thumbnail image representative of each participant's work.
