Leica Gallery New York
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.
Topics or possible points of discussion:
- Portfolio Review
- Goal of narrowing Artist's work to 20 images.
- Feedback on presentation
- Consolation to improve presence and message.
- Editing and sequencing
- Discussion on artists process and methods
- Editing for publication in a photo book or zine.
Who Should Attend:
