Show your work to top editors at a curated portfolio review

Posted by liveBooks

Marc Asnin, an experienced editorial photographer, had the idea a couple years ago to help photographers get their work in front of the many NYC editors in his Rolodex. This idea is now known as the NYCFotoWorks Portfolio Review and has signed up editors from big publications like ESPN, Vanity Fair, Fortune, New York Magazine, Time, Real Simple, and Rolling Stone. This short video talks about what makes this review different, as well as offers some advice for photographers when they meet with top editors.

PROMO:NYC Fotoworks-Professional Photo Portfolio Review-June 13th -17th, 2011 from RETV from Resource Magazine on Vimeo.

NYC Fotoworks is a professional portfolio review for photographers and illustrators happening from June 13th to 17th, 2011 at Canoe Studios in Manhattan. The portfolio review is a targeted professional networking event.

Here’s how it works…
Artists must apply and be accepted to join the event. Because of this, the many editors, creative directors, art buyers, agents, and galleries that attend our event do so will the aim of finding new artists.

The reviewers are all currently working professionals, not just big names from a time past, but instead the industry professionals that are shaping the look and feel of the visual medium everyday.

We talked with Marc Asnin about this event back in 2009. You can view Marc’s post here. The spirit of the event is the same but the particulars are different this year. For more information on the event or to apply go to www.nycfotoworks.com.

    As a participant in the first two NYC Fotoworks Portfolio Reviews (I’ll be attending the upcoming one in June as well) I can say that it’s unequivocally worth attending.

    It’s well run, organized (well, as organized as an event can be with a large number of photographers . . . picture ‘herding cats’) and worth both the time AND the money to attend.

    Sure, you can spend the same amount of money, and time, in NYC to meet with photo editors, art buyers and other creatives. However, how many are you really (really?) going to be able to meet with, guaranteed.

    My advice? If you can make the space in your schedule- go! Bring your best work, and be open minded – remember this business is not just about photography, it’s also about creating and maintaining relationships.

    Anyone interested in selling their work to editors, should be required to watch this video! Absolutely dead on point.
