Subscribers Only Seminar

In this class, photographer Chris Gronde will review your senior portrait portfolio, live! Bring your best work and get real-time, professional feedback. Chris Gronde 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 senior portrait portfolios get real feedback, live.

This class includes a dedicated 30 minutes of Q&A directly with Chris Gronde.

  • Anyone who wants real-time, professional feedback on their work.
