Toronto Photography Meetup Group

As everyone knows I ask a ton of questions on here and always get great responses so thank you so much! I have my interview at humber tomorrow and I need to fill a few spots to make it 20 photos .. What I'm asking is some help in choosing those few .. I added all my favourites or what I would deem my strong photos but to fill the gap to make twenty I need 6 more heres what I have so far (sorry for the huge post)

These are all I have so far ... To fill the spots I was thinkin maybe these?








Thank you everyone for all your help! Im stressing huge about this .. What do you think? can I get away with the last 5 images??

I would add Darkness Falls for sure.

I would probably drop unless you clean up the wrinkled floor. Btw, I see only 14 photos, not 15 that you have already defined for your port.

I like these as well:

the one that is missing is a film shot that isnt scanned

last pic is

These are really nice pictures. If they don't accept you, they're probably jealous 'cause they aren't as good

lmao I wish, Im worried I won't get in its a popular course

My 2 cents, I would suggest adding varieties to the portfolio. Adding, something like the AE-1 and motorcycle shots from your Flickr to the presentation.

Good luck to your interview.

Agreed - a student portfolio should demonstrate as wide a range as possible - mastery of a few types of images (long exposure landscape or portraiture) isn't enough. The faculty/admissions committee are probably looking for creativity and 'vision' rather than technical prowess. If you're not sure what the admissions committee is looking for then re-read the application materials - it is usually spelled out in black and white.

Good luck.

My suggestion (and perhaps you've already done this) is to be prepared to discuss what you like about each print and to talk in terms of subject, mood, elements of composition (eg. line, shape, texture, etc.), etc.

Great advice.

very great advice!! Thanks everyone for your input... Off to my interview wish me luck!!

Good luck Tyler!! May the photographic demi-gods be on your side.

Good luck Tyler! I'm sure you'll do great.

I wouldn't use the walking tall and the last waterfall as they do not add any variety. Good luck you should do fine.

Everything is way to good for me. Probably I am an amateur that is why hehe. Wish you all the best on your interview. Better yet update us on how did it go.

So I just got back .. Well I made a quick stop by Vistek on the way home and picked myself up a Lee Filter !!$$$ now I am broke lol Anyways the interview wasn't very formal.. I went in he asked where I came from where I'd like to be in the future photography wise and told me about the course .. He told me its mainly based on the business side of photography.. basically how to make money doing it from commercial to weddings etc .. He said he liked my stuff and "off the record I don't see any problem with you getting in your stuff is good" now if he says that to everyone I don't know lol! but hey only time will tell .. Thanks everyone for the kind wishes and support and I'll be sure to keep you updated!

This is where hobby meets career and 'fun' becomes 'work'. If you enjoy the work then every day is fun!

Congrats on the positive feedback. I didn't think you'd have a problem getting in, all your shots are pretty decent and it's obvious you have the motivation.

Good luck!

hope you get it

Good luck let us know what happens!

Sounds like they want real people with real passion and motivation in the program. Better for the program when all your classmates are just like you, eager beavers.

Solid portfolio!

Good luck! Your work is good!

Thanks! You all have been a huge help!

Just an update ** I wanted to thank everyone for helping me witth everything and commenting on my stuff just to keep everyone posed I got in!! and am super excited!! thanks again! If anyone needs help with there interview pm me and ill do my best to help thanks again!!
