Testimonials
  • I shot a fashion story for Livin In Style magazine because of the party at PSPF 2016. Much good for me has come of it well beyond just the feature. Same goes for the model also a PSPF attendee!
    Ian
  • “Your event has really hit its stride—well-organized, well-programmed, well-executed, and well… just really cool.” 
    Rex
  • "We don’t accept unsolicited proposals, just because there aren’t enough hours in the day to do them justice. But I do go every year to the Palm Springs Photo Festival as a reviewer, and I always see a lot of interesting work there." - Chris Pichler, Publisher, Nazraeli Press
    Chris Pichler
  • I wanted to let you know the huge impact your Festival has had on me, and I'm sure on many more like me. It is no overstatement to say that attending your Festival changed my life... Michael Knapstein
    Michael
  • "I really appreciate the effort you and yours put into breathing exuberant life into this thing. Looking forward to next year. Thanks, thanks!'
    Nancy
  • 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
  • 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.  You are surrounded by incredibly talented people from throughout the industry leading seminars, symposiums, workshops. In a few short days your career will change dramatically.
    Troi
  • "...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
  • "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
  • 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 S.
  • 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
  • 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, Minor Matters Books
  • Very rewarding! I saw some really incredible talent during the Reviews and plan to feature several of the discoveries on LensCulture. - Laura Sackett, Creative Director
    Lauren Sackett
  • "The festival is really indescribable. It is simultaneously inspirational for me and there are so many great friendships and relationships made and formed."
    Marianne
  •  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.
    Jesse
  • May is my favorite time of year in the photo universe. We all get to reunite in the beautiful Palm Springs desert and look at all different kinds of photography from all different kinds of photographers, which makes the Palm Springs Photo Festival one of the best photo gatherings.
    Anna Alexander / Wired Magazine
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • "I showed my portfolio to five reviewers and found the experience to be exponentially more valuable than I had ever expected."
    Adam
  • You make a swell soup and we are all the richer for it. 
    Jock Sturges
  • "What you curate at this event is unparalleled. The level of talent across every possible photographic avenue is – in a word – amazing." - Marianne
     
    Marianne
  • "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
  • "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
  • "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
  • Palm Springs is by far the “ BESTival”  of all Festivals. So well organized, so well produced, so well curated … just all around an amazing amazing experience. - Allyson Torrisi, People Magazine
    Allyson Torrisi
  • 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. Thank you for an amazing experience! 
    LUIS
  • 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 Dickson, Google
  • "I am happy to have been there and feel that you are making an incredible contribution to the medium with this festival."
