Photo STUDENTS!

Photo- You will need to pick your best four pieces next week to submit on Bulb for your portfolio.  Look at the page on the right to see examples of past 4/5 work. This is the quality of lighting, composition, creativity and artistic voice you will need to demonstrate to score at that level. I can meet with you during tutorial or class to look at your narrowed down selections.
