LorraineF.©

The New York Portfolio Review gives you a unique chance to get critiques on you work by some of the most distinguished photographers, curators and editors in the photography industry. Show your work.

Whether you are a young photographer eager to start your career, or an artist looking for more credibility, The New York Times has a great opportunity for you. Everybody over 18 can be a part of this project:

“We believe all photographers deserve a chance for their work to be seen regardless of whether they have thousands of dollars to spare or are scraping by to cover their rent and ramen. Your opportunity for success should be determined by the quality of your work and not by where you were born or your race, gender or sexual orientation.”

Victory Over Japan by Victor Jorgensen for the New York Times, 1945.

The event will take place on April 10 (photographers aged from 21) and 11 (participants aged between 18 and 27) at the City University of New York’s Graduate School of Journalism. It will be a weekend of reviews, workshops and conversations between 160 photographers and 75 reviewers. Not only will you get the chance to improve your work thanks to professional advice, but you will also gain in credibility. Showing a portfolio that has been approved by The New York Times is not too bad, right?

How to join
All kind of photography work, from fashion to photojournalism, is encouraged. By March 4, the jury will select and contact 160 participants to be part of the Third Annual New York portfolio Review. All you need to do is submit up to 20 images from one or two projects by 11 February, so you better get started!
