CPB Photo Review
Presenting the CPB Photo Review - an opportunity for photographers to get their work reviewed by stellar mentors and senior photojournalists, our jurors from the CPB Photo Awards!
Photographers from India working on long-term projects or single image, street or documentary, editorial, photojournalism, and lens-based artists are invited to submit their work/folios. The review aims to provide an in-depth interaction, understanding and guidance to photographers to help develop a serious approach to their works/projects. Those working on long term projects already, can also apply to have a chat about how to position their work outside of the current realm/genre - to explore the options of making a book or exhibiting their work.
