For this event we are welcoming numerous international reviewers from Asia and Europe, as well as the most influential people in photography in Japan.
This event offers a unique opportunity to present your work for critique, feedback and advice.
At no other time in Japan can a photographer see such a cross-section of representatives from both the commercial and fine art arenas. The review consists of a personal discussion with each allocated reviewer, who provides constructive critical appreciation of your work with invaluable advice.
Reviews are 20 minutes long with a 10-minute break in between. Every effort will be made during the allocation process to meet your review preferences.
Attending the Portfolio Review grants you access to the “CROSSING – Portfolio Review & KG+ Party”.
This event provides further communication with reviewers and also combines KG+ and KYOTOGRAPHIE, creating a fantastic atmosphere for making connections and developing ideas. During the review each expert votes at the end of their sessions for their favourite portfolio, one of which will be awarded the HASSLEBLAD Prize.
The top selected portfolios will be shown on the 360 degree screen.

2017 edition
