Photography & Videography Admission Portfolio Description & Criteria


Students applying to the 内射大奶 Photography and Videography program are required to present a portfolio, a curated collection of images, as part of their application. The purpose of this portfolio is to assess the applicant's foundational understanding of the elements of photography and/or videography while confirming their deep commitment to these art forms. We seek individuals who exhibit potential, visual curiosity, and a strong eagerness to master the art of creating compelling and impactful content.

What Your Portfolio Should Embody:

Your portfolio should serve as a true reflection of your photographic exploration, creative experimentation, personal vision, and technical competence. It must encompass a diverse array of subjects and genres, including candid and formal portraiture, landscapes, architecture, detailed depictions of nature, still-life compositions, abstract studies, travel captures, sports imagery, and shots of animals and wildlife.

Diversity and Innovation:

We recommend incorporating images captured from various angles and perspectives. Include close-up shots that intimately engage with objects or individuals, as well as wide-angle shots where even the smallest elements in the background contribute to the narrative. Experiment with different lighting techniques, whether it's the evocative play of side or back lighting, indoor light, or the versatility of an external camera flash. Black and white images are also welcomed as they add a distinctive dimension to your portfolio. If you're passionate about Photoshop, don't hesitate to showcase your skill with your finest composites.

Unleash Your Personal Style:

Remember, your portfolio is a selection of your finest work, showcasing a wide range of subjects, all seen through your unique lens. It's an opportunity to unveil your distinctive way of capturing the world around you. Let your personal style radiate through your work, ensuring that your submission shines and sets you apart from the rest.
