The 24th annual Review Santa Fe photographic conference kicked off on November 1, 2025, at La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe, NM, with a panel discussion featuring four esteemed reviewers.
This insightful conversation brought together leading voices, each representing different aspects of the photographic world—Kate Bubacz (Head of Visuals, Rest of World), Brian Paul Clamp (Gallery Owner, CLAMP, New York), Crista Dix (Executive Director, Griffin Museum), and moderator Thomas Werner (Author, Editor, Educator and CENTER Board Member)—to discuss what makes a project stand out and how to move your work from personal practice to public platforms.
