The Hamburg Portfolio Review creates opportunities
for aspiring international
photographers.
The Hamburg Portfolio Review (HPR) has established itself as a platform for emerging photographers and contemporary storytellers.
Its aim is to network the international photography scene, facilitate collaborations and engage in a discourse on ongoing photographic, social and political challenges. This year, 1294 photographers from 100 different countries applied. As every year, our jury selected 100 photographers.
The Hamburg Portfolio Review offers photographers the opportunity to present their work to international experts in the photographic industry.
The Portfolio Reviews will be held virtually. During the one-on-one reviews, the photographers will each meet 4 of over 50 photo experts from a wide variety of sectors. A selection of the portfolios will be on show at two exhibitions in Hamburg.
We will give aspiring photographers a voice and visibility to their work by establishing contacts with publishers, media houses, museums, festivals, foundations, universities and institutions.
There are no genre requirements. However, the focus is on narrative photography, not on advertising imagery.
What winners receive:
-
The possibility to present and discuss their work 4 of about 50 internationally known experts from different photographic sectors
-
The chance to showcase their projects in an exhibition
-
The opportunity to establish relationships with international media houses, festivals, publishers and foundations

Hamburg Portfolio Review offers you the chance to build up a network of contacts and gain recognition within the photographic world
The Hamburg Portfolio Review is a collaboration between the media brands STERN and GEO, the FREELENS Foundation and the University of Europe for Applied Sciences. Kindly supported by Canon, the Hamburg Ministry of Culture and Media, Hahnemühle and Messe Hamburg.
