On February 7, the intermediate stage of the PhotoArtDoc 2026 educational program was held - a pitching session, during which the participants presented ideas and concepts of their photo projects to mentors Sergey Gudlin, Katerina Kuzmicheva and Tatiana Tkacheva.
Pitching lasted nine hours and became an important point of completion of the first educational stage. Out of 108 participants of the program, 79 authors pitched to the final stage and presented their projects.
The pitching format was organized as close to a portfolio review as possible: participants briefly and structurally presented their ideas and answered questions from mentors.
Now the next challenging yet inspiring phase begins for the mentors - the formation of mentoring groups to continue working on projects within the main PhotoArtDoc 2026 mentoring program.
The PhotoArtDoc team would like to thank the participants for their work at the educational stage and for their project ideas.
