- In this video I will show you my process of how I made a photography portfolio that got accepted to photography school / art school in Berlin.
I will cover: How to create a photography portfolio from your archive, how to select the best photos, how to move from a digital work flow to an analog workflow and how to build a strong narrative with your photography portfolio, so that you too will get accepted to your dream school or university.
You will get 15 tips and tricks that I personally used to build an analog portfolio.

Let me know if you have any questions about my portfolio or my process!
Would you suggest annotating my photography portfolio when applying for a post graduate course/ masters?
@@jescaramelize9694 I think if it’s a documentary series / photojournalism it’s always a good idea to have some captions.
I've been shooting analog for more than 6 years and even tough it's not that much of time, I was searching some real life tips to make a great portfolio out of my pictures so far and your video is an absolute mine of gold ! Thanks for everything, you're helping a lot :)
Glad to hear it. :)
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Looking forward to seeing more of your work
Danke für die Tips! Wanna apply to film school in 2023/24, after an internship, and i need to start building my portfolio since they require 25 pictures with different stories, etc.
Sehr schöne Bilder!
took bunch of notes from this video! it was very helpful to me since i want to apply to a photography school this year. thank you so much for your pieces of advice!
Ah cool, Im so happy it’s useful. And keep in mind that criteria can be different from school to school, this was just my experience with this particular school and application…
Good luck for your applications and enjoy the process ❤️
@@katjafeldmeier the school i am gonna apply for by coincidence has the exact same admission procedure (20 photos portfolio + interview) so that's why your video was more helpful than others to me
You have a very nice onscreen presence, good luck in your studies.
What a great start! I look forward to yourfuture vidieos....
thank you so much, this video was glamorous and helped me a lot. Wishing you all the best
Thank you so much for sharing this info! I'd love to hear more about other photography programmes you considered in Berlin, and how you came to decide on this one.
Thank you for watching ☺️ I didn’t really consider other programs. Anything that is full-time would not have worked for me, since I’m already working alongside my studies. And other private programs just did not have the same reputation as this school. I went to see the schon at an open day and really loved the atmosphere. I can recommend to attend the open days. I also made a video recently “2 years of photo school” where you can see the school and I talk about the degree in more detail.
Hi Katja. I just started to follow you. I got interested in your channel because I want to go myself to a school to study photography too, and I didn't know you were in Havana. I live in Cuba! Well, thanks for this video. Now I understand better how a portfolio should be.
This came right on time! I am really thinking about applying this year! Thank's a lot :)! Maybe I will ask you later about stuff!
Cool, I'm glad you found it helpful. :) I'm planning to make more videos about the application process and about my photography learnings and favorites. You can subscribe, if you like and not miss any of my future videos. And ofc feel free to ask me anything.
thanks for your sincerity and tips !
Thank you for watching and sticking around. Let me know if there are any topics you would like me to cover in the future
Thank you very much for sharing your experience 👍🏻
It's my pleasure. I'm planning to make an updated video soon with my professional portfolio I currently use. Would that also be interesting to watch?
Yes, absolutely 😊😊
Besides of loving your portfolio thank you so much for sharing your ideas and thoughts about your portfolio ❤ will definitely follow your Chanel
Much love from Cologne ✌️

Thank you for sharing this very interesting process and your tips. It's very helpful! Where did you find and buy this lovely black box?
Cool, glad to hear that. I bought the box at Modulor, but I could also find it online here in case you are not based in Berlin:

Congrats! Nice work. =)
Thank you Daniel!
Hello, I recently started to thinking about applying photography school. I am more into street photography rather than portrait. Before this, even though I liked taking pictures, since I did not think about doing this professionally or applying a school, I was just doing because I was feeling. I do not have a professional camera and the pictures that I consider that they have a story and a feeling taking by a phone camera. I am sorry if my questions are ignorant but does that matter when you apply for photography school? Or if the pictures has been retouched? I started researching only a few days ago and the videos I have seen about portfolios looks really professional which made me discouraged.
Photography school not necessary. People look at your photos and decide if they it. Clients also need to like you!!:)
whats the point of going to photography school if you are already a working photographer.
learning new skills like documentary photography, street photography, product photography etc. Also getting pushed outside my comfort zone and to work on artistic projects rather than commercial projects.
You mention you created your portfolio digitally on PowerPoint. Can I ask how you formatted your stills in that slide? Did the photo take the entire screen or was it split with information? Thank you!
It was just one photo per slide. The info like my cv was in a separate pdf. But that was for my application, so it was specific to that.
@@katjafeldmeier thank you! You are so great! And did you maintain the horizontal format of a PowerPoint or were some vertical slides?
@@emilyinaba5881 the slides were all the same format
Hi, I was wondering whether you do any editing to your analog photos? I am currently curating my portfolio and as in my practice I combine film and digital, I always find it hard to decide whether I select an image first according to the narrative or if I should edit all the photos I like first and later do the selection process based on the narrative. I would like to optimise time so I always wonder whether editing photos that I may not use is counterproductive. I hope my question makes sense! Thank you!
I edit all the photos I like first and then make a narrative selection. Hope that helps!
Okay, das kann interessant werden.
Hello, I would like to ask if they count a series of photos as one work, or many photos? I take photos in one narration, that means i could only hand in 2-3 works for maximum 20 photos?
Uhm not sure I understand your question. Yes, if the total is 20, and your series are 10 photos each, you can hand in two series. But if you can do a core edit of 5 images per series, you can show 4 works within the 20. I showed one series with 10 images, and a best of of single images, so 10 single images.
