Portfolio Reviews with Mark Citret
Take advantage of this opportunity to have your work critiqued by master photographer Mark Citret. Mark is from the Bay Area and is part of the West Coast school, with roots going back to Ansel in the 1970’s. He is collected and shown and published widely, and as a long-time workshop instructor has critiqued thousands of images.
A critique by an experienced photographer is an important step in the evolution of your art and craft. They will point out aspects of your technique that are working well, and identify those areas that could use improvement. A good critique serves as a kind of benchmark, letting you know where you are in your own development and within the larger community of photographers. The discussion is often a catalyst for ideas about the essence and direction of your work, and the possibilities for getting your work into the public eye.
Portfolio reviews will happen concurrently with the presentations throughout the weekend. They will be limited to fifteen participants, available by pre-registration on a first-come first-served basis. There will be a sign-in sheet at the registration desk for specific time slots.

Did you ever wish you could sit down with someone and have them show you how to operate your new camera? Or ask them how to work with RAW files? Need someone to explain about resolution and compression?
