Dear Photographers,
From November 6 to 7, 2025, for the fifth consecutive year, the festival promotes emerging photographic talents during its opening week in Dakhla. The Portfolio Reviews, held at the Maison de la Culture in Dakhla, are a standout feature that fosters constructive and enriching interactions between photographers and industry experts.
These privileged one-on-one sessions offer photographers the invaluable chance to submit their work to discerning professionals for insightful critique, guidance, or networking. Each year, these sessions give rise to collaborations—publications, exhibitions, editorial projects—fueling the exchange and dissemination of new work and talent.
Agencies, publishers, gallery owners, specialist press professionals, artistic directors, and other seasoned image-world professionals share their expertise in these individual meetings while scouting for future programming.
Each 20-minute session is free of charge, and photographers may book multiple appointments.
