The Budapest Portfolio Review aims to give participants the opportunity to consult with renowned foreign experts about their images and get professional feedback on their work. Polish and Hungarian artists exhibiting at the European Kinship exhibition will also take part in the event.

The invited consultants are recognized representatives of the international photography profession: gallerists, art historians, heads and staff of prestigious institutions, agencies, festivals and organisations.

In addition to personal consultations, the artists will give 5 minutes long public presentations of their series, so that all professionals can get to know the work of all photographers. The presentations will also be open to the general public and will include a short introduction byeach of the professionals as well. During private consultations, an artist can meet one-to-one with six experts.

The event is organised in collaboration with the Capa Center, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, REZO Agency, the British Journal of Photography magazine and the Polish Institute in Budapest.
