On the schedule you will find an international portfolio review, a photography feedback review, an open portfolio night, seminars and workshops as well as exhibitions. This is an event for both professional photographers and amateurs, as well as for the regular photographic exhibition visitor. 

The Portfolio Reviews are one of the main events during Stockholm Photography Week 2012. This year, the reviews are divided into two sections: Selected Portfolio Reviews and Photography Feedback Reviews.

SELECTED PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Selected Portfolio Review is 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 the portfolios of 40 photographers over the course of two days. Participants will be scheduled to have eight 25-minute one-on-one reviews with these experts. Applicants will be pre-approved by a jury.

Application to the Selected Reviews is now open!

THE PHOTOGRAPHY FEEDBACK REVIEW
The Photography Feedback Reviews are open for all photographers. Photographers can choose among professional photographers, art directors and photo agencies to present their photographs for. You choose yourself which reviewers to see, how many reviews to attend and when. The reviewers are well-established photographers as well as professionals with extensive experience of working with images within different genres. You book each review session separately thereby creating your own schedule based on your particular interests.

Application to  the Feedback Reviews is now open!
