$50.00

REVIEWERS/CONSULTANTS | Amanda Smith and Kevin Tully
FEE | $50.00 per half hour (also available in 2 hour session

Amanda and Kevin, the gallery directors of A Smith Gallery, have been conducting photo and portfolio reviews and mentoring photographers for the past nine years. The gallery has been exhibiting work for thirteen years and shown the work of over four thousand photographers in over one hundred and sixty exhibitions. Many of the exhibitions juried or curated by Kevin and or Amanda.

“Over the years we have noticed that composition and the rules and principles of photography are not the major obstacles for photographers to overcome, but the often difficult act of seeing, of transcending the camera, looking out into the world as an artist, a creator, a fine art photographer.”

A session with Amanda and Kevin is typically predicated on three questions:

Why are you doing this?

Where do you want to go?

How can we help you get there?

A session can be a portfolio review or help with a concept for a project or book.

“We strongly believe that discovering or articulating one’s personal aesthetic is an important aspect of achieving a satisfying and successful photography practice.”
