Description

Are you about to embark on a personal photographic project and would like to review your ideas and approach with an expert? Do you have a long term project that you need help editing and sequencing? Are you a mid-career photographer struggling to figure out your photographic vision or where you are going next with your career?

This online portfolio review will help photographers identify their next step — from finding your photographic voice, to the process of discovering and making a long-term project that you’re passionate about, to practical advice on getting your work seen by the right people.

Each Magnum photographer will see 10 photographers only during this two-day event. Places will be allocated based on your application. Applications are free. The deadline for applications is May 10th. Applicants will receive an answer to their application by May 11th, 2020.

“I’m open to whatever the photographer wants to show me. While I can help out with editing, etc. I’ll be better at looking at a really really large selection of the work. It doesn’t matter if the photos are ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Not to edit but to find as many different threads as possible. This repeated spreading, or expansion, of the work and then the filtering out, or contraction, of different threads, is how I work personally. I feel that the participants of the review will benefit more from me this way. In the end I want to put forward what I trust the most in myself so that you can respect your own time and money and make your choice of reviewer wisely. If you are looking for specific or definite answers, I might end up being your worst choice.” – Sohrab Hura

About your reviewer

Sohrab Hura’s vivid, sometimes surreal photography explores his position with the world that he exists in. Though Hura initially worked through the prism of social documentary, he soon turned his strong vision inward, creating visual journals of his life and personal relationships as a means to “find his own logic”.   Hura was born on 17th October 1981 in a small town called Chinsurah in West Bengal, India. He grew up with many varied career ambitions but eventually settled on photography, after completing his Masters in Economics at the Delhi School of Economics
