The Toronto Focal Forum is a group of experienced photographers who get together to discuss the printed photograph. We meet for dinner every two weeks, from Autumn to Spring, and following our social time we can spend up to two hours reviewing and critiquing our members' work.
Each photographer in the Forum is skilled and experienced: while we always hope to refine our craft and our art, every image critique starts with the understanding that the photographer has created the image that they wish to see. This evokes a fundamentally different environment from 'camera' groups where the presumption and feedback is often remedial. Accordingly, we embrace all genres and styles of work, and welcome those who may be looking for an environment where we are all peers.
Membership in the Toronto Focal Forum is by invitation to those who have completed a portfolio review and attended as a guest to become familiar with our format. Interested in joining us? Follow the "Contact" page linked above to get in touch.
