Welcome to My Portfolio Review Service
Who Am I?
As an LGBTQIA+ photographer, I’ve built a photography business from the ground up, focusing on art prints and studio work. Over the last three years, my journey has been nothing short of incredible. I’ve been honored to win several prestigious international awards and have had the privilege of exhibiting my work in various galleries and events. This experience has taught me a lot about what it takes to stand out in the photography world, and now, I’m excited to share that knowledge with you.
Why a Portfolio Review?
Your portfolio is your visual résumé. It’s the first impression you make on potential clients, gallery curators, and collaborators. Whether you’re just starting out or have been in the game for a while, having a fresh set of eyes on your work can be invaluable. I’ll help you identify your strengths, suggest areas for improvement, and guide you on how to present your work in the most compelling way possible.
