What does it take to
succeed as a photographer? It takes time, passion and obsession to make
great work. But you also need the opportunity to get your work seen and
celebrated.
That’s why we are
again gathering 150 photographers and 75 of the most influential
editors, curators, gallerists and book publishers for two days of
private photo critiques on April 2 and 3.
Applications are now
open for the Fourth Annual New York Portfolio Review, sponsored by the
New York Times Lens blog and the City University of New York’s Graduate
School of Journalism. And it’s free — because we think that it should be the quality of the work that matters, not how much money you have.
This will be an opportunity for people in the photographic community to meet, trade ideas, help each other — and have fun.
Saturday, April 2,
will be for all photographers 21 and older. Each participant will
receive six private critiques. Sunday, April 3, will be solely for
photographers 18 to 27 and will consist of at least four private
critiques for each participant, as well as workshops on how to best
present, promote and publish your photographs. We will screen all
applicants and choose 100 participants for Saturday and 50 for Sunday.
All kinds of photographic work — from fine art to photojournalism — are
encouraged.
Please note:
Photographers who attended last year’s review are not eligible to apply
this year. Photographers who attended two or three years ago can apply
for this year’s review, but they must submit new work and expectations
will be higher.
Once photographers are
selected, they will submit their top choices of whom they would like to
have review their work. We will match participants with as many of
those reviewers as possible.
To enter, send no more
than 20 photos total, from one or two projects, using the form below.
The files should be jpegs, 1200 pixels across and 72 D.P.I. The deadline
is Feb. 4 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. We will inform those who are
accepted by March 1.
Note: Be sure to triple-check
the email address you submit for us to contact you. In the past, people
have been accepted into the review, but we couldn’t reach them because
of a misspelling in their email address. Please, don’t let that be you.
If you have any questions, you can send us an email.
