On February 12, 2019, three of NVPS’s most experienced photographers (Ginger Werz-Petricka, Kevin Egan, and Kathryn Mohrman) will lead the initial review of portfolios for NVPS members participating in the Portfolio Project. Whether you have a portfolio or not, the review will be a fun and interesting learning experience.
Although the reviewers may comment on individual images, the Portfolio Project emphasizes a body of work and how the individual images work together as a cohesive whole. Reviewers will also provide their thoughts about the Artist Statement that begins each portfolio, giving feedback on how it correlates with the actual portfolio. In addition, they provide helpful feedback on continuity, repetition, and image order.Portfolio Project participants may then use the feedback to hone their work in preparation for the final review on May 21, 2019.
Portfolios are an important outlet for photographers to display their artistic vision and develop unique projects for their bodies of work. Seeing the various portfolios and hearing the reviewers’ comments will hopefully give everyone ideas for creating their own portfolios.
