Make it Monday: Elaine Wright - Student Work

Wright, Elaine, from PH341 Final Senior Portrait Portfolio, 2015.

What does the word "portfolio" mean exactly?  The most basic definition of a portfolio is simply a large, thin, flat case for loose photographs to be placed into.  A portfolio is also known as a cohesive body of work that showcases a photographer's images; the body of work represents the photographer's specialized genre(s) that s/he may work in and highlights his/her style, concepts, and methods.

The first course you will take that is dedicated towards helping you further understand your knowledge of building a strong portfolio is PH341: Portfolio Exploration.  One of the most challenging aspects of putting a portfolio together is to choose images that clearly represent one sub-genre of photography.  The images you see in this blog post were taken by one of our talented students, Elaine Wright.  These images make up the portfolio that she put together for our PH341 class and display one cohesive body of work depicting senior portraits.
