Photo Forum / Film Photography / Large Format / September 2003Getting Your Work Seen
One of the ways to begin getting your work out there is to go to one of the portfolio review programs that are available around the country. I am talking about Photo Americas in Portland, Fotofest in Houston, the portfolio reviews in Santa Fe every year, etc. The reviewers are generally magazine editors/publishers, curators, gallery owners/managers, etc. View Camera and CameraArts find 10 or so bodies of work every year by attending these review programs.We first met Robert Smith in Portland in April at the Photo Americas festival. Other ways to get your work seen are to arrange exhibits in libraries, restaurants, book stores etc. You can also submit work to magazines (be sure to follow there submission guidelines), galleries, etc. steve simmons > One of the ways to begin getting your work out there is to go to one of the > portfolio review programs that are available around the country.

We did the same with Photo Americas in Portland. www.photoamericas.com www.photoartssantafe.com neither of these will happen till 2005. Foto Fest in Houston is happening in Feb of 2004 steve simmons Foto Fest is a great way, but it is expensive and probably filled out already. The "meeting place" as they call it, usually fills out within weeks after they announce it. If you plan to send an app for the 2004 event now, you are probably too late. Their web site is www.fotofest.org If anybody has a web site for the Portland shindig I would appreciate it if you post it, as I never have heard of it. > Subject: Re: Getting Your Work Seen > From: Jdunn jdunn@sbcglobal.net [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > steve simmons yes fotofest is filled already and has a waiting list 100 deep already. However, now I know the consider this event in June next year and to be ready for their "opening" day. Review Santa Fe http://www.photoprojects.org/about/programs/sympos/sympos_top.html appears to have an event happening in July 2004. Steve, do you have any comments on this event? http://www.stephencohengallery.com/ lists two events Photo L.A. and Photo San Francisco. Though there seems to be considerable marketing muscle here, the site doesn't mention how to be considered. Perhaps if one has to ask to be considered, one won't be considered!

Todd Photo LA and Photo San Francisco do not have portfolio review sessions. The reviews in Santa Fe are very worthwhile. You have to go through a jury process to be selected for the reviews. You can call 505-983-1400 to get more info. The View Camera conference next April 23-25 will also have portfolio reviews. steve simmons |
