Format FestivalThe Portfolio Review is aimed at committed photographers with a developed and serious approach to their work. Recent graduates are welcome. Please read all the booking information and FAQ’s carefully before making a booking.
We have a brand new bespoke booking system so that reviews can be selected online. This system allows you to choose the reviewers and time slots. It is a first come first served basis. You can view and select the slots you would like to book via the drop down option available under each reviewers name. Please note, your reviews are not confirmed until you have paid.
We advise you look through the reviewers prior to booking and make a list of at least 15 that you would like to see, in the order you would like to see them so that you are prepared when you book. We encourage you to read all reviewer bios carefully; each professional offers valuable insight, and selecting the reviewer who best aligns with your work will lead to the most meaningful experience. When making your bookings, ensure you are taking note of each time you book to ensure you do not book two slots at the same time. We cannot guarantee this can be amended once booked due to availability.
