All times listed are in the Eastern Time Zone (New York City, where SPD HQ is located).

This year’s virtual Photography Portfolio Review will take place over two days on Zoom from 9:00AM-7:00PM ET. 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. The maximum amount of reviews a photographer can do in a day is 18 (9 in the morning session and 9 in the afternoon session). 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.
