Soho Photo Artist Membership
Soho Photo invites professional photographers and advanced amateurs to apply for membership based on the quality of the work presented at a portfolio review.
A portfolio should be a cohesive body of work representing a single theme or ongoing project. A portfo- lio should have a single voice and look. A portfolio should contain 10 to 15 images that illustrate the artist's skill as a photographer, the artist's ability to edit his/her work, and the artist's care in preparing prints for exhibition. Prints should be unframed but in all other respects ready for exhibition, i.e. mat- ted. Submissions of books, slides or disks will not be considered. The Gallery's Portfolio Review Commit- tee reviews work once a month (see Portfolio Review page for dates). Please bring your portfolio to the Gallery by 10:30 AM on the day of the review. It can be picked up between 12:30 and 12:45 PM the same day. At that time, a member of the committee will discuss with you the committee's respone to your portfolio. A $50 non-refundable fee is required.
