  • The portfolio is a selection the candidate has prepared from the photographs they have taken so far.
  • The photographs are grouped under certain titles and themes. A series of about 20 photographs is arranged under each title.
  • The candidate is expected to be able to answer key questions about the photographs presented. It should be remembered that every portfolio is only as strong as the weakest photograph in it. Therefore, the candidate is expected to be able to comment on the criteria by which they selected the photographs in their portfolio.
  • Considering that the interview time allotted to each candidate is about 15 minutes, depth of expression matters more than the size of the portfolio. Presenting hundreds of photographs to the jury does not increase the candidate's chances and even creates information overload.
  • Due to the competition involved, candidates who wish to study with a scholarship in particular are expected to present portfolios that are strong in terms of print quality and content and to be able to approach their own portfolios critically.
  • Portfolios may also include video and short film work. For a good video portfolio, considering that the interview lasts 10-15 minutes, we recommend editing a "showreel" consisting of excerpts from your films. However, long versions of the films should also be brought for later evaluation for scholarships.
  • In addition, the candidate's work independent of photography, video and film (painting, drawing, poetry, etc.) may be added to the portfolio.

Candidates must bring their exam entry document with them to the exam.
