Portfolio Reviews

The Athens Photo Festival’s Portfolio Reviews provide a meeting place for artists and photographers to engage with established professionals, get invaluable feedback, promote their work, and create meaningful connections. This year, 20 international experts, including festival directors, exhibition curators, publishers, critics, editors and others, will convene in Athens to meet and exchange with participating photographers.

Online reviews for emerging photographers focusing on theme development and portfolio building.

The reviews initially set out to determine what the framework is for success. Does the photography edge towards personal expression or is it seeking a wider audience, or aiming for both. Once this is agreed we work towards offering the best supportive feedback and pathway, referencing similar work and suggesting photographers to look at.

Sessions are through an agreed appointment time with options for virtual meet-ups spread over several months.

These photography professionals are offering portfolio reviews for photographers at a cost of $150 for 30 minutes. You can select one or more of them at checkout.
