The Portfolio Project is a nine month project starting in September and running through May 2013.\u00a0 All club members of all skill levels are encouraged to participate in this project.\u00a0 A Portfolio may include some images already taken, but primarily new images taken over the program year.\u00a0 The goal of the portfolio project is to conceive a theme, craft an artist statement, capture the images and the present them as a portfolio.\u00a0 This article is devoted to encouraging members who may be interested in participating this program year to start thinking about portfolio topics, possibly several, and to start shooting this summer.<\/p>\n
Your goal is to create a portfolio of your best images, primarily collected from June 2012 to May 2013, that exemplify the objectives of your theme and Artist’s Statement.\u00a0 These should be images you would be proud to share with others for years to come.\u00a0 The beginning stages of the project entail picking a theme or concept and writing an Artist’s Statement.\u00a0 In the “Artist’s Statement” the photographer explains what he or she is trying to accomplish with the project.\u00a0 (See http:\/\/nvps.org\/main\/meetings\/portfolio\/nvps_portfolio_project_artists\/<\/a> for more details about what should and should not be in an Artist’s Statement).<\/p>\n In the beginning stages of determining a theme, some members have worked on several themes at the same time.\u00a0 As time passed and their images piled up, they began to become more comfortable with one subject over others.\u00a0 You too may follow this model in your project.\u00a0 It is helpful to write an Artist Statement for all potential portfolio themes.\u00a0 The NVPS web-site contains numerous articles in the “Portfolio Project” link under Club Activities on the main page.\u00a0 This year’s coordinators are Ginger Werz-Petricka (vze39dgt “at” verizon.net) and Ken Barnett (ken.barnett “at” gmail.com).\u00a0 If you have questions or need help with your portfolio, feel free to contact us at portfolio “at” nvps.org The Portfolio Project is a nine month project starting in September and running through May 2013.\u00a0 All club members of all skill levels are encouraged to participate in this project.\u00a0 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22114,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-activities","category-portfolio-project","entry","has-media"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210219_DSC01385-Edit.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-10 21:08:47","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1525"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12187,"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1525\/revisions\/12187"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
