Magnum Blog / First Impressions: Portfolio Review London

Be prepared to make your best First Impression at this unique portfolio review with Magnum photographers.

First Impressions will provide keen amateurs and emerging professionals wishing to take the next logical step in their careers with an honest evaluation and critical analysis of their photographic work. Reviews will be 20 minutes each with a 5-minute changeover period. Each participant will be reviewed by 3 different Magnum photographers and you will be able to state your preference of reviewer in the application process (review organisers reserve the right to allocate the times of each session). Reviewers will be Christopher Anderson, Stuart Franklin, David Alan Harvey, Costantine Manos, Susan Meiselas, Mark Power, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Larry Towell, Alex Webb and Donovan Wylie.

We want to provide individuals with the very best value for their money. This opportunity should be considered as an investment in your career and is aimed at photographers who feel they are prepared for the realities of the marketplace. This event is not aimed at beginners; we highly recommend that emerging photographers have published or exhibited their work at least once, or that keen amateur photographers have been seriously involved with photography for a minimum of 3 years. Photography/arts based students and recent graduates are welcome to apply.

To obtain the very best experience, please prepare for your portfolio review as follows:
Bring no more than 25 photographic prints, or images on your laptop. This could consist of one long essay, single pictures or a combination of the two. We recommend where possible that you provide a body of work on which you have spent significant time.
Be prepared to ask specific questions in order to get the most out of your reviews. We will be looking for a tight edit, something that represents you as a photographer, and hope to see personal vision and a unique visual perspective.

DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION: Friday 12th June at 6.00pm GMT
Registration is limited and on a first come, first served basis.
By applying you are committing to attend the event.

Price: £135 plus VAT
For queries contact: fionar@magnumphotos.co.uk

The blog is dying again! All that wonderful archive to be publicized and no-one at the offices with time to do it! I'm tired of waiting, and I'm sure there are plenty of others who'd be happy to run this thing, so let's us readers take it over....

Just using the "celebrate an anniversary" format, in June we've missed RFK's death, The Six Day War, and the 20th of the Tianamen Square riots. But these are cliches for Magnum, so let's bring up some less repeated stories... Here is something about the 9 June 1986 Rogers Commission Report into the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster...

Over to you all...

Your blog is S-l-o-w-l-y, but surely, hellbent on turning into an embarrassment. Man it- or be kind enough to take it out of its misery...
