Photography Portfolio Review


DESIGN: CHANNING SMITH

Photographers: Join us for the 6th Annual SPD Photography Portfolio Review! Virtually share your portfolio with top Photo Directors & Visual Creatives from an assortment of publications and brands who are looking for new talent. They want to see your work!

Many thanks to Photography Portfolio Review Co-Chairs: Lauren Brown, Senior Visual Editor, Allure and Glamour; David Cooper, Illustrator and Photo Director; Natalie Gialluca, Senior Visuals Editor, Vanity Fair; and Jeanne Graves, Director of Photography, Fast Company for organizing. Special thanks to Channing Smith for designing the promo.

SPD sets the standard for editorial excellence. This is your opportunity to put your best portfolio forward and talk to industry leaders online. During your review, you will be able to virtually screen-share your portfolio when you talk one-on-one. SPD does not need your portfolio beforehand.

Tuesday, September 26th, Wednesday, September 27th and Thursday, October 5th
9:00AM - 1:20PM ET | 2:30PM-6:50PM ET
All times listed are in the Eastern Time Zone (New York City, where SPD HQ is located).
(Zoom Meeting details will be provided a day before the event)
Registration will close when the event reaches capacity or on Friday, September 15th at 5PM ET—whichever comes first.
No refunds.

This year’s virtual Photography Portfolio Review will take place over three days on Zoom from 9:00AM-6:50PM ET starting on Tuesday, September 26th. The second date of the event is Wednesday, September 27th, and the final day is the following week on Thursday, October 5th.

Each day, there will be a Morning and Afternoon session with a unique group of reviewers. Reviews are purchased by the individual day in batches of 3, 6, or 9 reviews.

If your reviewer preferences include reviewers from both the Morning and Afternoon sessions, please make sure you’re available for the entire duration of the day you booked.
