REVIEW PROCEDURES

PREPARATION

Prepare your photos/portfolio by creating a preview file (Web-quality JPEGs in a ZIP folder are good, but PDF is preferred). Make sure it is under 5 MB. If it is bigger, please provide a link to your images via a cloud-based storage provider (Dropbox, WeTransfer, Google Drive, etc.). Please include the link in the message box. Please provide an artist statement or some information (background, processes, creative style, etc.) about the photos. Also, please explain your intention so I can point out or focus on your inquiry than give a general review. 


(Example: Can you focus on sequencing the series? What resources or references can you recommend for the style I have? What is the perfect photo for the cover page, and why?)

After sending the form, please wait for a notification email. Please allow business 1-3 days for acceptance and processing. You will receive an email for approval and payment. After settling the balance, you will get a confirmation email for your request.


You will expect a review based on your request:


Received report via Email: I will provide an email with an in-depth analysis base on your request. If I have further questions or concerns, they will be indicated via email. 


15-Minute Video Call: you will be given an appointment spot via Google Meet/WEBEX Cisco Video Call.


In-Person Meeting: An objective review for an in-person meeting starts at 15 minutes, plus an extended time and the travel fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why ask for photo or portfolio reviews?

    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. 

  • What qualifies me as a photo editor/reviewer?

    I am an experienced photographer with a wide range of experiences from commercial photography to fine arts. I worked with various companies like RTL, Sony Entertainment, ZDF, Fabiola, RedSeven Entertainment, various agencies, corporate, and small businesses in the US and Europe. I showcase my fine art series in exhibitions and group shows. I am also an Editor-in-Chief of The Lookbook Magazine, a photography based holistic-themed magazine showcasing different artists around the world. I work as a photo editor from my daily occupation. I graduated with my Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA. I am also an educator. I have teaching units and also spearheading Cologne Photowalk Challenge based in Cologne, Germany. It is a Photowalk tour that stimulates people to their knowledge, and creativity and familiarizes them with their cameras/smartphones and understands the fundamentals of photography.

  • What are the benefits when requesting a photo/portfolio review from you?

    First, I will give you an objective comprehensive analysis of your photos - from composition, technical attributes, narrative, and emotional connections to the audience, to providing constructive feedback to improve, giving references and resources that are connected to your work. I will be very critical to answer any concerns or request that you may have. I will research various resources and references that can help you improve your work and give inspirations to you as an artist/photographer. 


    Secondly, I will give you recommendations that benefit your work/portfolio/series. Give you leads to possible contests, curators, museums, or agencies. This analysis will consist of numerous personalized research for your specific situation and will be based on the standards of the industry.
