LEARN MORE
The Exposure Portfolio Review offers photographers the opportunity to share their work in one-on-one sessions with professionals from across the photography community. Reviewers include curators, editors, educators, and practicing artists, each offering distinct perspectives, experiences, and opportunities.
Participants will receive four 20-minute review sessions, allowing time for focused, individualized feedback on their work and practice. Reviews are conversational and can address a range of topics, including image selection and sequencing, conceptual development, presentation strategies, exhibition and publication opportunities, and possible next steps for a body of work.
The Portfolio Review is open to artists at all stages of their careers, from those seeking early guidance to established practitioners looking for a fresh perspective. The emphasis is on thoughtful exchange, critical engagement, and professional development.
These sessions often provide more than immediate feedback. They can help clarify direction, encourage new ways of thinking, and support longer-term growth in an artist’s practice. Whether you are refining a project, preparing work for exhibition or publication, or seeking informed feedback, the Exposure Portfolio Review offers a supportive and focused space for discussion.
COST: $175

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that the Exposure Photography Festival is situated on land adjacent to where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Moh’kins’tsis”, which we now call the City of Calgary. This is the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. It is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. We honour and acknowledge all Nations, who live, work and play in Moh’kins’tsis, help steward this land, and honour and celebrate this territory.
