Testimonials
  • Through the relationships created [at PSPF], I was able to not only make direct sales of my photographic prints, but more importantly foster relationships with photographic collectives and individuals interested in  sponsoring my future projects.  Add to this that you are surrounded by incredibly talented people from throughout the industry leading seminars, symposiums, workshops and in a few short days your career will change dramatically.
    Troi
  • I signed with an agent and met some amazing people. Above all realized the value of meeting people and getting your work out which is something photographers tend to forget..
    Maya
  • You are all doing an righteous job and I really wish this experience wasn't just once a year, esp the evening symposiums with all the individual photographers discussing their work while it is projected, SPECTACULAR!!!!
    Tara
  • "I showed my portfolio to five reviewers and found the experience to be exponentially more valuable than I had ever expected."
    Adam
  • "I still have not totally awaken from the dream that is the Palm Springs Photo Festival and hope that I never do. I feel blessed to have been a part of it."
    Robert
  • "This event was really inspirational and amazing. In my enthusiasm during the conference, I called it life-changing. I believe it is, at least for me it is. .."
    Svetlana
  • "I really appreciate the effort you and yours put into breathing exuberant life into this thing. Looking forward to next year. Thanks, thanks!'
    Nancy
  • "Thank you again so much for running this event! I must say it was one of the most fruitful reviews I have attended in terms of the reviewers I had managed to show my work to and connect with, and it was also the most organized and well-run review that I have had the pleasure to participate in..." 
    Mimi
  • I am writing to you to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy attending your festival. I especially love the evening lectures. I could not think of a more perfect way to end a day already filled with inspiration and education. Being an entrepreneur myself I so appreciate when someone, their team and their company go above and beyond to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience. My only intention for writing this e-mail is to share with you that in a day and age where mediocrity rules, it's refreshing to find an experience that not only makes you want to return to, but also one you care enough to bring along your friends. ...Thank you for an amazing experience! I will always do my best to let other creatives within my circle know about the great artist gathering you and your team put on every year in PS. Looking forward to PSPF 2015 and beyond.
    LUIS
  • So I met Marta Hallett at last year's festival. By this festival I will have the most gorgeous book through Glitterati! PSPF is amazing!!!!
    Margorie
  • PSPF was fantastic this year – the photographers were AMAZING and all of the talks were phenomenal.  As always, I was thrilled to be a part of it.  I met great photographers via portfolio reviews that we’ll be using and picking up work from as well.
    Anna
  • “Your event has really hit its stride—well-organized, well-programmed, well-executed, and well… just really cool.” 
    Rex
  • It is truly an event that allows time for reviewers and talent to mingle and get a chance to socialize. We love the creative panels in the evenings, which gets us back to the art of photography and reminds us why we are in this business.
    Lisa
  • You make a swell soup and we are all the richer for it. 
    Jock
  • "It would have taken me a year, and a lot of time and expense to schedule the same number of meetings, providing of course it were even possible. There’s really no substitute for a face-to-face meeting. Personally, I found the events energizing " 
    Dan
  • ” I had many great meetings with positive responses and heard just as many helpful bits of advice on how to strengthen my presentation. The meetings were invaluable and if all goes well should lead to working relationships. 
    Bart
  • "The festival is really indescribable. It is simultaneously inspirational for me and there are so many great friendships and relationships made and formed."
    Marianne
  • You are all doing an righteous job and I really wish this experience wasn't just once a year, especially the evening symposiums with all the individual photographers discussing their work while it is projected, SPECTACULAR!!!!
    Tara
  • "...not only did I see eight of the most difficult to reach editors and art buyers, I loved being at PSPF and checking out all the new gear..."
    Kristen
  • Kimberly Anderson of Utah met with me last year and we included her work in a group exhibition at Photographic Center NW, Salt/Water. It was reviewed in the Seattle Times. At both the opening and her lecture/panel discussion she acknowledged the importance of the festival in connecting!
    Michelle Dunn Marsh
  • "I am happy to have been there and feel that you are making an incredible contribution to the medium with this festival."
    Joel
  • Congratulations on another amazing photo festival. The reviews that I gave were really satisfying on many levels.  Interesting and very nice photographers of all levels participated and I am happy to say [I saw] extraordinary work. Thanks again for the extraordinary evening programs.  It is so important that our industry gets to connect annually in the casual yet professional atmosphere.
    Sherrie
  • I'm a fan of your festival, I love the energy I experienced from my first year at PSPF. I honestly could not believe the caliber of talent that was radiating inside the theater every night. As if you've brought the photography world into one room.
    Yousef
  •  I've began friendships at the festival which over the years have become the kind of friends that you can't imagine ever not having.
