Photolucida: Portfolio Reviews From the Photographer’s Side of the Table. © Eliza Lamb, from her series “Hopewell.”
By Eliza Lamb As a photographer I find that portfolio reviews are the perfect combination of exhaustion and exhilaration, community and competition, motivation and humility. After I returned from a whirlwind four days in Portland, Oregon at Photolucida I was still coming off the high of it all. I found myself trying to integrate the connections I’d made and the feedback I’d gotten with the life I knew and the assumptions I held before I left. Sorting through piles of leave behinds, business cards, signed books and pages full of notes, I was struck by feelings of accomplishment and uneasiness, and by my downright good fortune for being able to be a part of such an amazing community.
The process of creating visual art can be very isolating and often involves years of self-reflection, pondering and personal expense, punctuated by both excitement and doubt. I find time and time again that the moments between reviews are the most important for me. Shutterstock - Make money with your images and videos! INFOCUS Sidney Zuber Photography Award.
