The Portfolio Reviews are one of the main events during Stockholm Photography Week 2013. This year, the reviews are divided into two sections: Fine Arts Portfolio Reviews and Commercial/Editorial Portfolio Reviews.

THE FINE ARTS PORTFOLIO REVIEWS
The Fine Arts Portfolio Reviews are for established or up-and-coming photographers, wanting to expand their international contacts with world-renown institutions, galleries and book publishers. In this section, 15 internationally renowned experts from the field of photography (gallery owners, curators, editors, etc.) all of whom can make a difference to working photographers, will review portfolios over the course of two days. Participants will be scheduled to have a minimum of eight 20-minute one-on-one reviews with these experts. Applicants will be pre-approved by a jury.
