ONLINE PORTFOLIO REVIEW 2024


Belfast Photo Festival presents two days of online, one on one portfolio reviews with Irish, British and International experts. The purpose of these reviews are to provide both photographers and artists working with photography the opportunity to meet one on one with professionals from across Asia, Europe and America. Through these reviews participants can expect to gain vital feedback on their artistic development, expand their professional networks and exchange ideas. Each review session will last 20 minutes, PLEASE arrive on time for sessions.

The Festival has carefully selected international experts in the field of photography and art from around the world to review for two days (Reviewer Bios can be viewed further down the page). The invited reviewers are looking for new, emerging talent and works by established artists utilizing photography. Whilst the purpose of the review is not guaranteed to deliver exhibitions, publications or representation, these are potential outcomes.

We have a bespoke booking system so that reviews can be selected online. This system allows you to choose your reviewer preferences. It is a first come first served basis, with a limited number of slots available with each reviewer. Please note, your reviews are not confirmed until you have paid. There are no refunds.

PLEASE NOTE: Spaces are limited, you must submit the application form and a list of the reviewers you are most interested to meet. Given that the review spaces are limited, we may not be able to give you all the reviewers you request. You will be given a list of reviewers and times based on how many sessions you indicate you wish to purchase. It's extremely important you arrive on time for your sessions and come prepared! Sessions will be kept to time and you cannot 'make up' any time lost.
