The BDC’s Annual Portfolio Review offers photographers feedback from top photo editors. Sign up to receive individual critiques from top photo editors and photographers from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, National Geographic, and many more leading publications.
Space is limited and advance registration is required. Before the review, the BDC will ask you to rank your top 10 reviewer choices. We will try to match you with your preferred selections.
