Reminders Project+pdfX12 presents
The third Reminders Showcase “View Opportunities”
Portfolio Review and Project Screening to bring back the reality and connect it to your heart

The Reminders Project works to raise awareness of and seek various viewpoints on myriad situations around the world. We have no restrictions on where and how our works are presented. We also have no requirements on photographers' nationalities or their experience.

This event, Reminders Showcase “View Opportunities,” aims to provide opportunities for viewing the projects and assignments of the photographers who dedicate themselves to telling stories of people to whom the mainstream photojournalism world rarely pays attention.

We aim to provide opportunities for understanding the subjects and people featured in those projects and assignments through presentations that show the overall picture of the works.
We will also have a portfolio review time in which photojournalists and participants work together.

In addition, we will offer opportunities to see the original presentations by contributors to pdx12|photo documentary folioX12, our monthly photo documentary online journal, which we have been distributing in pdf format since early his year. We will hold this event to provide “view opportunities” in which people view photojournalism projects and photo-documentaries from every aspect. This will be a broad international occasion to share the information.
