PhotoMatch 2022

Photolux Festival present PhotoMATCH, the innovative portfolio review format created by FotoFestiwal, Lodz.
PhotoMATCH is a new portfolio reviews format: two-day meeting and exchange time designed for both photographers and reviewers.

DAY 1

21st May, from 10am to 4pm

PRESENTATION
During short presentations the reviewers and the photographers talk about their work and show their most interesting projects.
Photographer’s presentation is designed for 4 minutes and 20 slides and reviewer’s presentation for 2 minutes and 10 slides.

PHOTO-MATCH-ING
The presentation is followed by the Photo-MATCH-ing, during which both photographers and readers choose two interlocutors to meet in the individual 20-minute session.

DAY 2

22st May, from 10am to 13.30pm

PHOTOGRAPHERS MEET REVIEWERS
In the first round, reviewers receive the 2 photographers who have booked a meeting with experts of their choice.

REVIEWERS MEET PHOTOGRAPHERS
In the second round, photographers take their spots and receive the 2 reviewers who have registered for a meeting with artist of their choice.

ALL MEET ALL
An open time and space for additional and informal meetings. If one did not succeed to register for a regular meeting with someone of the strong interest, there is still a chance to have a short discussion at that moment. It is also time for reviewers to approach another reviewers and photographers to speak with other photographers.

We have also emphasised a social part of the event. We arranged a coffee corner for all participants to facilitate their discussions, exchange of thoughts and ideas, network building. A common meal for both experts and artists will be provided on day one.
