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.
