  I’m applying to do a level 6 fetac photography course in Westport VEC as a mature student and will need to interview and show a portfolio but I haven’t got a clue about them. e.g. what size it should be, how many photos, how many subjects, where to get them printed etc. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

  I’ve seen on other forums people talking about what DIT and IADT look for, but not sure what should be included in one for the course Im looking to do.

  This is the course im hoping to do: http://www.westportcfe.ie/dept/view/20″ onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

  with a fallback to the level 5: http://www.westportcfe.ie/dept/view/16″ onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

  thanks

  Hi Alan,

  I’ve also been looking for this type of info and the one thing that keeps coming up is to only include the best of the best of your work. I guess you’d include examples from the different areas ie. portraiture, landscape etc.

  Your website looks great, love the race car shot! Seems your well on your way to a professional career, fair play!

  thanks very much Caroline I appreciate it but I think i’m still in early days yet :) too many times coming home and being disappointed that I didn’t get ‘the shot’ i was hoping for.

  Best work does seem to be the one constant, Im just a little worried that while I have a good bit of landscape shots I wouldn’t have much portraits though. I suppose i’ll need to find some willing volunteers who’ll let me ‘steal their souls’ :D in the meantime.
