EXPOSED Torino Foto Festival calls for one of a kind Portfolio Review. After successful editions in Fotofestiwal Lodz, Poland, both festivals join forces again, bringing this innovative formula to Italy for the second time in 2025, called EXPOSED PHOTOMATCH.
EXPOSED PHOTOMATCH reinvents the traditional portfolio review by emphasizing open networking events and public presentations. Based on a democratic and inclusive model, free of charge, it allows experts and artists to share experiences, work, and motivations in the same space. One-to-one meetings are the result of this exchange, fostering meaningful connections.
The Photomatch format was created by Fotofestiwal International Festival of Photography in Lodz, Poland and has fostered many fruitful collaborations over the years.
DAY 1 (10:oo – 13:30)
PRESENTATION AND MATCHING
It’s a day dedicated to both photographers and experts to introduce themselves, their work, and practice through short live presentations. The event is open to EXPOSED Torino Foto Festival’s audience, including festivalgoers and city visitors who wish to attend, allowing artists and reviewers to expand their network. Based on these introductions and their impressions, each participant will choose 2 reviewers (for photographers) or 2 artists (for experts) with whom they would like to meet and share their work. By the end of this day, each attendee will have 4 meetings scheduled for the next day.
DAY 2 (10:00 – 13:00)
MEETINGS
The real deal! All participants attend private meetings in accordance with the timetable generated based on the choices made on the previous day. Every photographer and expert attends 4 meetings. For those who want, EXPOSED PHOTOMATCH will finish with 1 open extra session, offering a chance to exchange ideas with someone with whom there was no previous match.
