AUTO PHOTO and Caffeine & Machine are teaming up to offer four photographers the chance to win a one-on-one photography portfolio review (worth £120!) with photography expert Karen Harvey, Founder and Creative Director of Shutter Hub and AUTO PHOTO.

Portfolio reviews are an opportunity to run through ideas, receive direction and feedback, gain advice on reaching audiences, getting paid, making the most of exhibiting and publishing opportunities, and taking your photography to the next level.

Karen has reviewed portfolios around the world for the likes of Vogue, Getty Images and FORMAT International Photography Festival, amongst many others. She is dedicated to creating fair access to photography and opening up opportunities for everyone. She’d love to see work by creative photographers who are looking for support and direction, who want to exhibit and publish their work, develop their networks, and connect with others.

To help you prepare, download the Shutter Hub Portfolio Review Guide, a free document full of tips and advice on how to make the most of portfolio reviews, all founded on years of professional experience.

To enter the giveaway, you’ll need to head to Instagram, follow @autophotoawards and @caffeineandmachine, like this post, and leave a comment below letting us know how you would make the most of a portfolio review! 

All entries must be submitted by 04 August 2024.

Portfolio Reviews will take place in person at Caffeine & Machine’s The Bowl during the last week of August (more details coming soon).
