Hopefully the cold snap hasn’t frozen everyone’s fingers and you can still to take pictures for your portfolio.

I have gotten a couple of questions recently, such as, do you need an Artist Statement by the review in January? Yes, you do. The Artist Statement lays out your purpose and intent. Go back to our posting from January 2013 and read the excellent article on creating a statement. Also, look through the gallery of past portfolios and see what other people have said about their pictures. You can always change the statement later as you develop your concept further, but the statement is the outline of your concept, it not only tells the reviewers what you had in mind, but it can act as a guide in choosing the best images for the final portfolio.

Another question, the first review will be a projected presentation only, you don’t need books or prints for now.

And lastly, if you aren’t ready to join the project now, no worries, you can join the project up to the beginning of April, but I hope you don’t wait that long, we would like to have you join our group and hear your input.

Happy Shooting! Ginger
