Statement

In photography portfolio is one of the most important things if you want to get hired. Photography is a visual art, so it is obvious that the best way to represent your skills is by the use of portfolio. The work that has to be included in it needs to be targeted at one specific area of photography. My chosen career path is portraiture, consequently my portfolio consists of selection of portraits. Due to the fact that I am 2^nd year student I am just trying to find myself, that is why I included different kind of images – from fashion to art photography.

I not only created a physical portfolio, but updated my website, which now has just my surname as a domain name and I also created some business cards. In a professional world of photography in these days these things are important to have. Nowadays, It is vital to have your own website or other social media. Everything is moving into virtual world as it can be accessed from every corner of the world. Furthermore, it is now easier to find me if you just have my name. The first google page is filled just with my images, website, LinkedIn and other photography and art websites.  

Professional Frameworks 2 module made me look at photography from more professional side. My personal development plan made me realise how much there still needs to be done before I finish university and start my professional career as a photographer. It also made me think that it is possible to achieve quite a lot of things in a period of 6 months. Being professional photographer requires so much more than just taking images, you also need to have ability to represent your work and yourself.
