Portfolio advice
If you are thinking about applying for BA (Hons) Photography, we'd like to help you

What makes a good portfolio?
Please submit a careful selection of your work. Ask advice from current tutors if this is possible. Remember that we are looking for your creative ability and potential, so it is vital to show us how you generate ideas, how you develop projects and how you resolve your final outcomes.
We ask student to submit the following:
1. Sketchbooks or workbooks that demonstrate the starting point of projects and their development. These should contain: your own images with annotated comments; research and analysis of the work of others; indications of how a project develops over its duration (reshoots, rethinking, etc.); ideas about the selection of images from what you’ve made (the editing of your work).
2. Finished images in digital form. Select a range of work, where possible, to show us the range of your experience, abilities and interests.
You can submit your portfolio anytime to artsportfolio@plymouth.ac.uk.
Ask, ask and ask
We don’t want the wrong student, and you don’t want to join the wrong course, so please email us at admissions@plymouth.ac.uk with any questions, and we will do our best to answer them.
