Professional Portfolio

So I am about to graduate from Hawkeye Community College and I am required to prepare a Professional Portfolio to present to a panel of professionals in the field of photography. I have to admit I am a bit nervous because the portfolio has to be accepted and I don't know the exact format or the types of questions I will be asked. Will they ask me technical questions about how a photograph may have been executed? Will my dress and demeanor determine if my portfolio will be accepted? Will I be compared to the rest of my classmates or am I going to be judged just on my work alone.? Oh so many questions and not enough answers. Any ideas?

Logo


I am trying to create a business identity. I have considered several color schemes and layouts over several months. This logo is one of the contenders. I am branding a fine art photography and matting and framing business. Does this say "fine art" to you?

What do you think?


I took this photograph with several small strobes using colored bulbs in them. That is what gave me the many different colors. I slowed down my shutter speed and instead of shaking my camera to get the motion blur I had my subject move lightly while he played his trumpet. I think it turned out pretty cool. What do you think?

What do you like?

I have often wondered what types of pictures most people prefer to hang on their wall as fine art photography. What types of pictures do you like?
