The New York Chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP NY) is hosting its free Ninth Annual Fine Art Portfolio Review on the evening of February 18th, just for its members. The New York Chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers is the largest photographers’ organization in the world. ASMP has over 7,000 members, including many of the worldʼs greatest photographers, in 40 chapters nationwide.
Influential gallerists, curators, collectors, publishers and dealers will review portfolios and share their valuable feedback with photographers. ASMP NY organizes this anticipated portfolio review to nurture relationships in the fine art community and give photographers opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise have as easily.
The objective of this night is an emphasis on honest feedback that photographers rarely get. Reviewers are asked to quickly look at and critique a variety of types of work and give feedback on presentation, consistency and what parts of the portfolio are working as well as any that are not. Reviewers can offer both feedback and direction.
A physical portfolio is required: no laser copies, iPads or computers. All ASMP members are eligible to register for this free, 2 1/4 hour, event. Registration is required and places fill up quickly. There will be a wait list.
