Feedbacks of Portfolio Review 2010:
Elena Tkachenko (Kiev, Ukraine): «Many thanks to all the experts who did the great job beyond all doubt. It seems that no one had a formal attitude to what they were doing.. they really went deep into the matter trying to find what to compliment for and what to say. In spite of hearing what I expected the communication was useful. Suppositions were transferred into confidence and now I understand which way is worth going.
For ukrainian authors portfolio review definitely was an event and a unique possibility to communicate, to show works to well-known masters, teachers, galleries, to get an appraisal and maybe an interest in their work.»
Roman Zakrevskiy (Chernihiv, Ukraine): «Thanks to all reviewers for their opinions about my works. They were very different and many-sided but in general they pushed me out to the main thing on which I`ll be concentrated in the future»
Olga Oleynik (Kiev, Ukraine): «Thank you very much for preparing and organizing this event. It was very interesting for me as a first experience. I have never studied photography that`s why it was very important for me to hear experts` opinions, they changed my attitude to photography in general and it became clearer for me what to do and where to move. I hope that such events will be held in the future»
Yakov Pekarskiy (Kiev, Ukraine): «I`d like to thank you for the possibility to get some kind of a kick to finding myself. I`m absolutely serious – portfolio review reminds me of side boards of billiards table, a table itself is a photographer`s activity and the pockets are the goals to reach. So now I know where to roll (I mean to move) and what to do for it after being pushed from the side boards of portfolio review. Thanks to the organizers and those who were not indifferent!»
