Presented by Review Santa Fe Portfolio Reviewer and CENTER Advisory Council Member, Mary Anne Redding, this seminar offers advice on preparing your work for meetings with curators, editors, publishers, and other industry professionals. Portfolio Reviews offer opportunities for project distribution and making key contacts for career advancement for photographers working at all levels.
