PORTOFOLIO

The portfolio is about you and your work in photography; tells your story further. At the same time, it is also the tool through which you sell your photography services to clients (if you want to do that). The portfolio module guides you through this whole process, helping you understand which photos you select, how you order them, what and how you write about them and yourself, when the digital portfolio is useful and when you want it printed, etc. All these notions will help you to know how to tell the story of your photos, whether they are just on an Instagram account or for a job pitch.

The module is coordinated by Cornel Lazia. At the final portfolio review session will be all our collaborating photographers (you will be able to participate in the final session only if you participate in the entire module or the full course). If you want to better organize your works (even just your Instagram feed) come to the portfolio. Needless to say, if you want to work as a photographer... then you have to come to the portfolio.
