Portfolio

What are we looking for? Your portfolio should introduce us to your work, passions and skills as a photographer. We want to see your interests outside of photography and how they inform what, where and who you photograph. Through your portfolio we encourage you to demonstrate your inspirations and what motivates you as a photographer. It is important that your portfolio contains a range of work including recent work for college / school and personal self-initiated images. What do you need to include? Your portfolio should feature between 10 - 15 photographic images that you feel represent who you are and what you like to photograph. Your images should be formatted to fit pages which are all the same size. Within your portfolio, you can also share with us other visual work that gives us insight into your creative background. For example, if you have any of the following, you could include a link to your Instagram page, YouTube account or examples of self-created video. In addition to your portfolio of photographs you should include images of your workbook or sketchbook. These demonstrate your creative processes and show the research, reflection and analysis that is behind your photographs. They help us to understand your practice as a photographer. You can present your portfolio as a PDF file or you can use an online service to put your portfolio together such as Issuu or a similar provider of your choice. When putting your portfolio together, ensure that it is well organised and that your work is clearly labelled. The portfolio is all about you as a photographer, so give it the best possible chance of making a good impression.
