For the sixth time, we are holding the PORTFOLIO REVIEW, one of the flagship events of Photomonth in Krakow 2011.

On Saturday May 21th from 11:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. at the Manggha Centre of Japanese Art and Technology on ulica Konopnickiej 26 in Krakow over a dozen professionals will be awaiting photography lovers who are hoping to make their names in the profession. The reviewers will be photographers, photography editors, editors, merchants, critics, and representatives of agencies, photography magazines and galleries.

The Portfolio Review is a one-day event aimed at both experienced photographers and those who are only starting off on their road. In either case, the Portfolio Review offers the opportunity to meet the professionals, who are ready to offer their knowledge and experience, and to show participants how they might go further.

 This year our invited reviewers include:

• Charlotte Cotton (National Media Muzeum)

• Wojciech Wieteska

• Jason Evans

• Agnieszka Czarnecka (Galeria Czarna)

• Jakub Śwircz (Fundacja Archeologia Fotografii, Academia Fotografii)

• Joanna Kinowska (Zachęta National Gallery, Akademia Fotografii)

• Bill Kouwenhoven („HotShoe“)

• Janek Zamoyski i Paweł Eibel (Galeria Czułość)

• Saul Robbins (Visiting lecturer at the Akademia Fotografii)

• Izabela Jaroszewska (EAF)

• Hanna Rydlewska („Exclusiv“)

• Paweł Fabjański

• Patrycja Kwas ("Gazeta Wyobrcza")
