Live Portrait Portfolio Review with Mark Wallace

This course will be free to watch while streaming on YouTube Live on 9/14/2026 from 7:00–8:30 PM EST and will be available for purchase after the event.

In this class, photographer Mark Wallace will review your portrait portfolio, live!

Bring your best work and get real-time, professional feedback. Mark Wallace will go through submitted portfolios on air — sharing what's working, what to cut, and how to sharpen your edit and sequencing. It's the kind of critique you'd normally only get one-on-one, opened up for everyone watching to learn from.

Submit your portfolio for review live in chat during the broadcast.

Whether you're building a portfolio for clients, school applications, or your own website, this is your chance to see real portrait portfolios get real feedback, live.

What You'll Learn

• See what a working professional looks for in a portrait portfolio, in real time.
• Learn how to identify and cut images that weaken an otherwise strong portfolio.

• Anyone who wants professional feedback on their portrait work but doesn't have access to one-on-one critique.
