We're pleased to report that photography is alive and thriving — in Paris and all around the world! Our 2nd annual international portfolio review, Lens Culture FotoFest Paris 2011, was a huge success.

For 3 days at Spéos Paris Photographic Institute, 163 photographers from 36 countries presented their work in a series of 1-on-1 meetings to 52 influential photography experts from around the world.

The annual international portfolio reviews are organized to help serious photographers meet museum curators, gallery owners, book publishers, magazine editors, festival directors, critics and art collectors.

These brief, intense, direct meetings often result in photography exhibitions, editorial assignments, art gallery representation, worldwide magazine and internet exposure, and purchases from museums and art collectors.

This video represents snippets from just one day -- the 1-on-1 meetings, and a 2-hour "Meet the Artist" event that was open to the public.

Thank you to everyone who participated, and very special thanks to our partners and major supporters:
