Leica Gallery Portfolio Reviews
Gallery curation takes a specialized approach to properly maintain and display work, so it conveys the message of the artists. Everything from lighting, print size, and subject matter are all factors in what brings a gallery to life.
Meet the Curator sessions allow artists to have their work go under critique to assist in narrowing down the strongest and most cohesive work. These sessions are ideal for photographers looking for a discussion past the basic settings and into the philosophy of their work.
An overall review of your portfolio, feedback on presentation, editing and sequencing and possible outlets for future development of projects.
Disclaimer: These sessions do not entail students to a gallery exhibition or representation in any Leica Gallery.
