We just posted new pics on our PRC flickr page. So surf on in and check out photos from Aperture’s Lesley A. Martin’s seminar on book publishing from April 1st and snaps from the opening reception of New England Survey from March 27th. Just click the photomontage below!

A sneak peek, CLOCKWISE from upper left:
* Lesley A. Martin gave a superb seminar on publishing.  It was very well attended!
* The 2 Lesley/ies. Lesley of Apeture and the other Leslie of the PRC pose with the Boston Skyline.
* Exhibiting artist Barbara Bosworth (center) with Sage Sohier & Margot Kelley - both of whom have shown at the PRC! [in Group Portrait (2005/2006) and Land/Mark respectively (2005)]

We all crave feedback. Personally, without daily feedback from my wife I’d run the risk of leaving home thinking I look good in my severely mis-matched clothes. (I do try and rectify my mistakes before leaving for the PRC)

I do know how difficult it is for artists to find a forum that can offer consistent and objective feedback on their work. This is why the PRC has launched the Portfolio Project, a sequential program, offered twice a year, designed to offer guidance and insight for those interested in refining their portfolio and progressing in their practice, while working with members of our photo community.

We’re thrilled that Cig Harvey, an amazing fine art and commercial photographer, will lead this installment of the Portfolio Project. In addition to teaching at AIB, Cig travels the world showing her work (most recently at Photo 50 at the London Arts Fair) and shooting on assignment for folks like O Magazine, kate spade, Ralph Lauren, and Health Magazine. She was recently named one of Photo District News’ 30 “New and Emerging Photographers to Watch.” Below is one of Cig’s images. Check out cigharvey.com to see more.
