Why you should apply?
This contemporary photography portfolio review will be unique among other photo fairs. Not only because it is part of photo l.a., the largest photography fair on the West Coast, but more importantly because it will reflect the highest standards professional ideals and expectations we all strive for. We believe and understand that to review the work of an artist at every stage of development ensures the strength and integrity of photography as a relevant medium in the art world.

Highlight to this event.
The top 10 featured portfolio nominees who are selected by our reviews and staff over the course of two days will be invited to share their work in a public walk through at photo la on Sunday January 20, 2013 after the review closes.

Emerging Focus Seminars

With the constant metamorphosis of photography, our definition of what is groundbreaking evolves. Our aim is to embody the advancements of photography. Whether the work involves invoking the brilliance of the past for new purposes or exploring new techniques, we seek photographers who are breaking the mold of tradition.

Adding to the schedule this year will be beginner, intermediate and advanced seminars on a diverse range of photography topics, titles such as:

Creating the Fine Art Portfolio: Taking Your Work to the Next Level with Aline Smithson

Hollywood and the Actor's Headshot with Brad Buckman
In Hollywood, photography plays a vital role in the life of working actors, including editorial, publicity, advertising, and even the latest blurb in the tabloids. But the first step in the journey is getting one simple picture: the actor's headshot. More than just a snapshot of a face, however, the headshot has to breach the casting director's front line, and spark an interest in the actor for a particular role or project. We'll talk about the latest trends, including insights from recent interviews with leaders in talent representation, management, casting, photo labs and online casting services, and learn secrets to capturing the essence of an actor at their best.

Santa Monica Noir: Photo tour of Santa Monica by night with Helen Garber
