In November 2010, Lens Culture and FotoFest welcomed more than 160 photographers and 48 international photography experts for the first large-scale, internationally organized portfolio reviews to be held in Paris. 

The photographers came from 32 countries, and the range of photography they presented was really very exciting and inspiring. Now, many of the expert reviewers are in the process of working with photographers whom they discovered at the Paris event. Exhibitions, books, magazine publications, and other projects are already in the works. Two major museums are acquiring the work of some participating photographers. And Lens Culture will be featuring extended features about some of our favorite discoveries, as well.

We realize that you may want to make some discoveries of your own. So we are presenting here one photograph from each of the photographers who participated. Links to photographers' individual websites appear below.

You can also purchase a beautiful printed catalog of all of these images, including all of the contact information for each photographer. The book is available for sale via our generous sponsor, Blurb.com, the on-demand photobook publisher. The book can be a valuable reference tool for collectors, gallery owners, art directors and other photographers who want to discover some very current work from all corners of the globe.Check back soon for more news and success stories – as well as updates about our next portoflio reviews in 2011.
