The New York Times Portfolio Reviews By Elizabeth Avedon – Day 1

The Fourth Annual “New York Portfolio Review” sponsored by the New York Times LENS Blog and the City University of New York’s (CUNY) Graduate School of Journalism, took place over a recent weekend. Leading editors, museum curators, book publishers and gallerists reviewed the work of 150 or more photographers chosen out of over 2,500 applicants. All kinds of photographic work — from fine art to photojournalism — was included and the reviews are completely free for all photographers chosen to attend. From a Reviewers standpoint, the quality of the work is extremely high as the work has been screened by top photo professionals.
