Group Portfolio Review

Calin Kruse, dienacht Publishing

Description

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.

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.

This group portfolio review format offered by Calin Kruse, founder, editor and designer of 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, 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.
