Vision 2006 - London

Every year the British Journal of Photography holds an even, this year Vision 2006 is held on Friday 10th November between 10am and 5pm at The Bridge, Weston Street, London SE1. They have a bunch of stuff going on, seminars and tutuorials, lectures, etc. But one of the more interesting things for me at this event is the ability to get your portfolio reviewed by some highly regarded Pro’s at the top of their game. Also Present, Anders Petersen - a famous Swedish photographer comes to London apparently for the first time in 25 years (which is odd considering how cheap air travel is these days ). Brian Griffin - Britains leading (according to the BJP) portrait photographer talks about his surrealist approach behind his style, and lastly Fabrica.

Entry is £8 and portfolio review is £2 per portfolio. Don’t forget, if you get your portfolio reviewed and the feedback isn’t good, doesn’t mean it’s a bad portfolio, nor does it mean you’re a bad photographer, you’re simply asking someone to give their subjective opinion on a body of your work (of course the converse is also true!)

If you can make it, it’s probably with a look.

P.S. I forgot to mention, one of the event’s major sponsors is Venture photography and judging from their latest campaigns they’re on a big recruitment drive right now, which may or may not affect your decision to go.
