Art Photo Bcn Portfolio Review

Art Photo Bcn portfolio reviews nourish the different sections of the festivals, being the selected authors the protagonists of different actions in the future editions.

Overview

Art Photo Bcn Portfolio reviews aim at supporting the work of authors with already developed photographic projects or that are currently, conceptually and materially, developing them in order to help them find a way of spreading them, broadening their networks. Placing all the emphasis on the project that is presented, during the open call no preliminary paths will be taken into consideration, so to grant everyone aspiring to getting a portfolio review the same possibilities.
