If you are looking for a Photo Critique &Portfolio Review Service.
Do not look any further, I am at your service!
I am providing creative consultation as a photo editor for your projects, portfolio reviews, and photo reviews. I will be providing an in-depth analysis based on your request and providing an industry-standard report that will be helpful for your business, or progress as an artist/photographer.
Prepare your Materials
Prepare your photos/portfolio by creating a preview file (Web-quality JPEGs in a ZIP folder is good, but a compiled PDF file is preferred). Make sure it is under 5 MB.
If it is bigger than 5 MB, please upload it to my Playbook Drop File Account. Please leave a note in the message in the form.
If possible, please provide an artist statement, a brief photo description, or some information (background, processes, creative style, etc.) about the photos to give me some background about your photos. Also, please explain your intention so I can point out or focus on your inquiry rather than give a general review.
(Example: Can you focus on sequencing the series for a photobook, magazine, or an exhibition room? What resources or references can you recommend for the style I have or for my personal project? What is the perfect photo for the cover page, and why?)
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me here or send an email to: info@brokenperception.net.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why ask for photo critique or portfolio review?
It is important to get a photo and portfolio review. As artists/photographers, we are subjective to our favorite photo or work. We are attached in some ways to the creation we made. Letting someone else look at your work can give you a different perspective, a pair of creative eyes, that gives you an objective reaction to your work that we may not notice or realize.
