Portfolio Reviews
Our Twitter feed has been buzzing with companies and studios across the country offering up their virtual doors to students and emerging creatives for portfolio reviews. Here are some of the ones we’ve spotted:

Illustration agency Handsome Frank are running free portfolio reviews for illustrators in lockdown zones. Tweet them with a link to your work, tag it with #hfreview, and they’ll pick an artist each day to set up a 15-20 minute-long video chat.

Students and junior photographers can also call on Handsome Frank’s sister company, photography agency Hancock & Handsome. The team will be setting up video calls to talk about photography careers, how to make it as a photographer, editing your folio, and more. Drop them a line and they will pull names from a hat.

Design and branding agency DBD based in Manchester are also offering advice and portfolio support to students or graduates. Send them a DM over on their Twitter.

Based over in Sydney, Australia, creative company Christopher Doyle & Co. are similarly ready to hear from you for project reviews or any questions you might have. You can email the team at [email protected]. They’ll take on as many as the can – also worth making note of the time difference!
