Mar 31st, 2009 - Portfolio Project Critique - Northern Virginia Photographic Society

To all Portfolio Participants participating in the 3-31 Critique:

Please submit a digital set of your current portfolio images to Bill Prosser (prosserwm@nospam!#*&^#)type address - don't copy spam protection(*@.@nospamaol.com) no later than 6 PM, March 29 (If possible, please limit it to 20 images.) and follow this procedure:

Title the email "Portfolio Project."
Size images no larger than 1024 pixels horizontal and 768 pixels vertical.
Use a naming protocol: last name-blank-image number from 1 to total.)

(Please Note: If you get the images to me earlier, it will make it easier for me to get copies of them to the judges so they can have a look at them before the meeting. This will save everyone time at the critique and make our ambitious schedule that night more feasible.)

At the 3-31 Critique, we plan to follow this procedure:

Overview of project and remaining calendar.
Discuss each and all (Approximately 15) portfolios.

Limit of 4-5 minutes per portfolio. (Should take about 60-80 minutes total. Note: Ed feels this is very, overly optimistic. I agree, but think we can do it. We both feel it is worth trying to give each portfolio a reasonable time for discussion, but an hour and a half may not be enough time to do them all.)

Show and ask Artist to read or paraphrase Artist Statement (A.S.).
Show each portfolio image (about 5 sec. each.)
Use Lightroom or other software to show entire portfolio on one screen to facilitate discussion of overall portfolio.
Judges (to be announced later) comment on coherence of portfolio and adherence to A. S.
Judges mention three images they like the best, discuss three images which they believe are the weakest in the portfolio, and explain why.
Maker artist will be given time to ask questions about portfolio and judges' comments.
Audience, priority given to other participants, comments and questions, if time allows.
After all portfolios individually reviewed, open up for some general conversation about portfolio project. Quit before 10 PM.

To refresh your memory about the project and general schedule, please consult: http://nvps.org/main/meetings/workshops/nvps_20089_portfolio_project/
