Portfolio Reviews at ICP – June 2018

Although I have reviewed photography portfolios for many many years, on Wednesday, June 27, 2018 I participated for the first time as a reviewer at the ICP (International Center of Photography) Portfolio Reviews. It says it in the name… International Center of Photography… and that’s exactly what my reviews were, very International, which I loved, along with some very interesting and thought-provoking projects ranging from addiction to gender identity, sexual abuse, suicide, health & aging, Staten Island, living in gated communities in Brazil & Dubai…

It’s not only the reviews themselves that give me great pleasure, but what touches my heart and makes it all worthwhile is when I receive “thank you” notes afterwards, such as these from Rebecca Morello, Catalina Reyes & Bruca Moreira, as well as a wonderful email from Betty Young Kim:

Marketing: One Size Does Not Fit All! for ASMP NY – PBNY – February 2015

They Say One Size Fits All – Or Does It?

Should you have all of your work on the one website, and if so, how do you organize it? Or should you consider multiple websites for multiple markets?

Each photographer is different and no, from experience – “one size definitely does not fit all!”

When Cookie Cutter Marketing Simply Doesn’t Cut It…

You’ve all heard the expression “square peg in a round hole” – as an artist, you are already fitting that description – so take that same attitude to your marketing and think outside of the box. What worked for Chuck in the 80’s may not work so well for Carmelita today!
