Your portfolio is a visual statement it says a lot about an applicant and their practice. The advice below is not meant to be restrictive but rather offers some simple advice to help you prepare for your interview.

What we like to see
• Clearly laid out portfolio, which is easy to look through.
• Evidence of visual imagery/photographs that you have created yourself.
• Considered quality not quantity and avoiding repetition.
• Organised into sections.
• Notebooks/contact sheets that indicate developmental processes - experimental.
• Simple presentation – if mounted black or white board is preferable.

Photographs
Series of photographs that indicate interpretation/technical ability - use of light, composition, print quality, narrative, interaction with the subject, visual story, associated research and how this feeds into the project – relevance, individuality, ideas, experimentation, evidence of an ability to take a creative risk and experiment.

Sketchbooks
Evidence of your level of understanding photographic technique; this includes an ability to use a camera with exposure/composition/lenses, diff erent focal lengths and work fl ow. Written work will include the influence and reference to other photographers/artists/filmmakers.

Digital Work
If bringing a digital portfolio, we advise a maximum of 20 images prepared and ready to view on a tablet/laptop. The work should be considered and organized, displaying the ability that you have decided to choose key images before placing them in the appropriate order to be viewed during the interview. Be selective with your images that you can talk confidently about.

Finally
Be honest. Be yourself. Relax.
