"Being a photographer is a matter of constantly striving to create great work and introduce it to your audience in the most effective way possible. Many of these interactions come by way of portfolio reviews of which there are many. The annual portfolio review put on by SPD is among the best. Expert advice and terrific feedback from many of the top leaders in the industry. What else could you ever ask for? It’s been consistently valuable enough to get this LA photographer on a plane to NYC for several years. Even though this year's trip will only require me to travel to my home office to sit in front of my desktop, I wouldn’t miss it for the world."
- Christopher Malcolm, Photographer
