I'll be there. I really like this event. And it's a deal compared to other portfolio reviews. I've been 4 times and each time something good has come from 1 of the 3 reviews. APA Associate Member Leah Fasten
$160 for three, 15 minute Reviews, and admission to the exclusive Private Party with the Reviewers from 9 to 10 PM.
This Portfolio Review Event is reserved exclusively for: APA Leader, APA Professional, and APA Associate Members
VERY IMPORTANT, SO PLEASE NOTE: Your THREE Reviewer Appointments will be based upon the order in which the Reviewer Choice lists are received (not when you register/pay).
Everyone must please register first, then email us (info@apasf.com) your TOP TEN Reviewer Choice list ASAP. Please read all of the Event Fundamentals info below.
This event always sells out quickly. The sooner you register AND send in your prioritized TOP TEN list, the more likely you are to get to meet with your TOP THREE choices. If you wait, it will be too late.
Thank you for having me at your event last night. I really enjoyed meeting everyone. This event is such a great opportunity for talent to get in front of the client and for the clients to meet great photographers they might otherwise miss. The portfolios I reviewed were fantastic and I found a few shooters I will definitely be fitting into upcoming schedules. Thank you again.

Portfolio Reviewer
This annual event is made possible by these generous Sponsors:
American Photographic Artists, San Francisco presents a very special opportunity for APA Photographer Members to meet one-on-one, face-to-face, with insightful and influential Reviewers. This is no ordinary review event at a studio - it’s an exclusive private party just for Pro Photographers and Creatives.
We've lined up an impressive list of world-class Creatives, Agents, and Photo Editors. You choose three Reviewers to meet with, to help you refine your portfolio, and advance your career. In each 15 minute appointment, you'll be able to show what you do and who you are, and the reviewer will be able to offer you real-world feedback. You can present your finest work on your pad or laptop if you prefer.
We’ve again booked it at the impressive 111 Minna Gallery, around the corner from SFMOMA, and there will be an exclusive, no-host-bar Cocktail Hour at the end of the event, so you can all get to know each other, and begin the collaborative creative process. Unlike other Portfolio Reviews, every photographer member attending will have the opportunity to meet & talk with many of the Reviewers during the exclusive Private Party from 9-10PM.
