So, whether you would like feedback on work in progress, guidance on how to present a completed body of work, advice on how to gain professional opportunities or exposure, the Exposure 2021 online Portfolio Review is an ideal chance for you to get the input and advice you need. 

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to meet these highly influential professionals and show them your work!

We have an incredible line-up of reviewers from Calgary, Alberta, Canada and beyond! CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE EXPOSURE 2021 PORTFOLIO REVIEWERS or see below for information on how our online event will be hosted. 

Please note that this year’s Portfolio Review will be hosted online via Zoom. Due to the event’s online format, the Portfolio Review will be hosted over 2 days, Saturday 13th February and Saturday 20th February. Photographers should pick the date they prefer depending on both their availability and their choice of Reviewers. Each event day has a different list of Reviewers and once you have registered for that date you are not able to see the Reviewers that are available on the alternate date. Photographers are welcome to register for both days and pay 2 fees. 

BEFORE YOU REGISTER

Please read the following Exposure 2021 Portfolio Review notes, terms and conditions:

• The Exposure 2021 Portfolio Review will be held on zoom, using private breakout rooms to connect reviewer and photographer only for their allotted time slots. This will be managed by Exposure.

• The Exposure event moderators will place photographers into their review about a minute before the session's start time and then send a warning near the end of the review. Once your time slot is up, the event moderator will exit you from your meeting to allow the next photographer to join.

• Photographers should check their audio and video prior to the event date and have their digital portfolio ready to view prior to the event. Please ensure that you have access to a reliable internet connection, a system that can smoothly run a webcam, microphone and speaker to facilitate the reviews.

If a photographer experiences any technical difficulties, they should send a message to the event moderator using Zoom’s chat feature or by emailing Exposure Coordinator, Beth Kane, beth@exposurephotofest.com .

• Photographers will be asked to share their screens to show reviewers their portfolios. In the event registration confirmation email, photographers will be asked to upload their portfolio as a PDF file onto a google drive. This will allow reviewers to access photographers’ portfolios in case photographers have problems with sharing their screens during the review.

• Photographers will receive a zoom weblink via email that will allow them to join the event. Photographers should not share this weblink with anyone.

• If you experience any technical difficulties or if you miss your scheduled review time slot, Exposure will not refund your registration fee or reorganise your review for another time or date.
