Introducing the
LensCulture Project Review:Gallery Focus
After over 10 years of bringing exposure and resources to photographers all over the world, we are introducing our new Project Review service for photographers interested in having their work seen by gallery professionals and taking the next step in crafting their work for marketing and potential sales.
We’ve brought together a team of fine art and gallery professionals to design an in-depth review that helps you better present your photography to collectors, galleries and the overall marketplace. You will gain critical feedback and insights on exposure, representation and ultimately presenting your creative works to sell.
In addition, your work will be considered for our LensCulture Print Show in New York City as well as our Online Exhibition, which will be curated by a group of gallerists and curators from around the world. Both exhibitions will be promoted to our global audience of 2.5 million.
Finally, all participants will be able to market and sell their prints with the help of our partners: OpenStudios, an online platform that helps you market your work and connect with buyers online, and PICTO, a leading photo lab based New York and Paris.

Get an In-Depth Project Review:
Professional. Personalized. Actionable.
We’ve recruited a team of industry professionals to take an in-depth look at a project from your portfolio. Through an extensive pre-review questionnaire, feedback is tailored to answer questions specific to you and your work. Our creative community is ready to help you fine-tune your project, providing guidance to help you better present your work to collectors, galleries and the overall marketplace.

Tell Us About Yourself
Our Reviewers want to know who you are as an artist. We ask you to complete a brief but thorough questionnaire to understand your objectives for your work. The more information you provide, the better our reviewers can assess the project’s strengths and weaknesses plus suggest opportunities for growth and direction to further your goals. In addition, we ask you to provide your biography, website, and resume (cv), but these materials are optional.
Present Your Project
Show us a cohesive body of work, up to twenty images, that speaks to your ideas, tells your narrative, or engages us with your story. We are looking not only for your visual signature, but the ideas behind the work. Provide a short project statement that clarifies what the series is about, how you hope to engage us as viewers, and what you would like us to take away from the work.
Get Your Review & Recommendations
Our industry professionals will review your submitted materials, spend time with your images, and develop a thorough response to your questions and concerns. Make the most of this opportunity—the more information you provide, the more in-depth and focused your answers will be. Our reviewers can provide clarity and insights into your work, your process, marketing, and placing your work in front of gallery professionals who can help you advance your fine art career.
Review Feedback could include:
- Discussion of the visual strength of your work
- Editing your artist or series statements
- Fine-tuning or focusing your project for exhibition
- Marketing your work
- Working with a gallery

Market & Sell Your Work Online
with OpenStudios
We’ve partnered with OpenStudios, a platform that helps photographers to market their work and connect with buyers online. OpenStudios is free until you sell your first print, then you’ll receive an additional two months free as part of the LensCulture Project Review. With OpenStudios, photographers can participate in an online marketplace where gallerists, curators, collectors and photography-lovers can purchase high quality prints and learn about the stories behind the images.


LensCulture and OpenStudios have partnered with PICTO Labs, a leading photography lab based in Paris with offices in New York City, to provide fine art quality printing and fulfillment.
