Canon 1000D. Had it for a few years now. Going to get a 5DMKII before I go to uni hopefully, as that'll last another fair few years.

Nikon D90 with a 55-20mm VR because I mainly shoot wildlife also have a D60 that just hangs around as a spare plus a ton of old film gear .

Bournemouth want to interview me! Have you had an interview with them? How was it? Ahhh!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sophie_gray/ this is me, not a portfolio as such, just a collection of photos

I didn't get an interview at Bournemouth, just had to send off my portfolio maybe because i live a long way from Bournemouth. Your photos are sick so you'll get in and i especillay like the ones of the baby cat.

Ahh that's lucky then, I don't really live that close either but fortunately I'll be down country for my Falmouth interview and the Bournemouth one is the day after! Aw thank you that means a lot :smile:

It's just being able to talk about them is what gets me, I don't know the kinds of things you need to be saying and stuff. Or maybe I'm over thinking it I'm not sure. :P

I've heard back from Falmouth I have two weeks to send a fashion based e-portfolio..
I haven't had the chance to take any fashion type images at my current course! We've just been taugh landscape and still life, only in this term are we even learning a bit about studio.. got less than 2 weeks to plan and find models eek. Anybody know what a portfolio for fashion photog should be like? do they have high expectations?

How far away do you live from Bournemouth if you dont mind me asking?
Im applying there n im around a 4 hour train journey away so it is a bit of a hike.
I was just wondering if maybe I come under the people who dont get asked for interview? :s-smilie:

Thanks

Hi Roxxyx! I've applied for fashion photography too. I have the same problem like you, this is my portfolio: www.flickr.com/damianmalicki
I haven't sent my folio yet, because I'm still not shure which photos choose.

I've applied for the Photography course there so I don't know about the fashion one. However, I'd show them a range of what you can do, so use some of your best shots as they'll want to know your skills as well as what you want to shoot. Do they want 20-30 photos? If so then you could easily bulk it up with the work you currently have. Try and get some fashion style shots as soon as you can as they obviously want to see that too! Perhaps concentrate on that this week and then compile all your work next week?
Hope this helps :smile:

well, i am not sure that it is al about location as to weather you have an interview or not, it could be categorised in some other way but I live about a 4 hour train ride away too. Ask them when you go, i'd be interested.
