Portfolio Reviews

I will provide in-depth, constructive critiques of an in-progress or existing body of work. I will analyze the technical skills, artistic vision, and overall presentation. I want to help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your work and provide guidance on editing, sequencing, and presenting an effective portfolio. Most of all, I can help you understand how your work might be received in a workshop or review environment.

Sequencing and Editing

I will provide guidance on selecting and arranging images for desired outcome. I want to help you understand how to create a cohesive and impactful visual story. Let’s improve the presentation of your work so every audience understands your creative vision.

text

We know that impactful imagery is often accompanied by compelling text. Whether it's an artist statement, article, or a project description, I can help you articulate your vision with clarity and precision. Let’s work together to distill your complex ideas into concise, engaging language. I’ll guide you in structuring your artist statement to resonate with viewers, ensuring it complements your images without overshadowing them. I can help you identify any jargon or overly academic language, and help you translate it into something that can be understood by a larger audience. Most importantly, we’ll focus on grammar, flow, and overall readability, ensuring your text is polished, professional, but still uniquely yours.

Workshop, Review, & Festival Prep

Preparation for navigating the photo festival and workshop circuit. We’ll go over portfolio submissions, presentations, and advice on best networking practices when given the opportunity to connect with other photographers, industry professionals, or potential collaborators. Let’s maximize your experiences!

Creative Direction
