A great idea and I’m sure it’s a lot of work to put up the submissions, but still, I bet it’s worth it. We will appreciate it and take part, I know I will.

i totally understand your thinking about portfolio reviews….they are certainly a part of my teaching process always, but my experience shows me that portfolios have little to do with what a photographer will produce “on demand”….that is in the context of an assignment or commission…

i have seen photographers with great portfolios fall “flat on their face” when confronted with producintg good work “now” and conversely i have seen the most unlikely portfolio “owners” do amazing work on demand…

that is why magazine editors have such a difficult job of picking photographers for assignments….they know well that a photographer with a “great portfolio” does not mean that they have a candidate for an assignment…before they are going to “risk” their funding , they really need to know if someone can produce on demand…just as a champion golfer like tiger woods….sometimes i can hit a shot that looks just like a tiger woods shot…but, not consistently…not under pressure…not day after day…

for one thing, very few photographers know how to edit..including some very famous names you know…..i can “fix” most portfolios quite literally in minutes…

ok, i must rush off now…but i will come back to this topic…

good thoughts cathy..

David repeatedly mentions here and there the importance of excluding photos from our portfolios or to show less to be more effective.

The idea is similar to a Portfolio Review but a visual approach could be used. Where in a portfolio review we are expecting words of explanations of what works and what does not with our photography – a visual approach to this would be simply submitting a portfolio of 100 images where the reviewer could simply delete those less effective, repetitive, lousy as related within the framework of the theme. For those who are intuitive and visual learners it might just be a great help and an opportunity to draw conclusions from the excluded work.

I’m glazing over the last paragraph. I hope it’s not too long winded as I’m not going back up there to correct it. ;-)

I agree with you. A portfolio review allows us to show what we want to do, what we are able to do at the moment, the way we edit photos, everything at our rhythm. I know it’s different when we receive an assignment, that we’ve got to work against the clock and everything, but i think that at this point we still consider ourselves students, nah?

I am noticing conversations about (at least) two different types of submissions…people are mentioning portfolio reviews or “best of our best” work but also being discussed are assignments where we have time to go out and create new work for the site. I hope there is an opportunity for both but if it truly is a one time thing my vote would be for portfolio reviews. Even mini ones. At workshops a portfolio review often starts the relationship between teacher and student…getting to see where we’ve been and what we’ve been doing and where we need to/want to go. I recomment this as the starting place for us as well and from there if it continues new assignments can be given.

As long as you are evaluating professional photo management tools, the comparison wouldn’t be complete if you didn’t throw SmugMug into the mix. http://www.smugmug.com

I work at SmugMug and would love to offer you a free Pro account for life to host this. It could be customized and integrated completely.

Ping me if you are interested.

hope you are enjoying your holidays! Just back from my trip to China, and wanted to let you know that your blog is unaccessible from there, not sure if you already knew it!
As you know I spent two weeks in Shanghai, and tried several times to connect to your page (for my daily break from business troubles), but i never succeeded. Internet is heavily censored (especially with news websites), but I am surprised you are too!
a presto

How about starting another entry on the blog to get a rough head count of the number of people interested in this.

Prehaps anyone interested could enter their name, location, interests/subjects. And the number of comments would give you an idea of number of people who would send you work.

So you would have some idea of the scale needed to get this up and running.

Hope your having a fantastic holiday,

All the best,

Pete
