Best way to showcase artwork & photography for applications

Please share your ideas and experiences in submitting examples of your artwork and photography. Did you make a video montage or snap book to email? One school has a portal that asks for an additional fee to submit artwork. Thanks for help.

my niece took pictures of her art and saved them as jpegs I think and submitted separately direct to admissions via email in some cases.

We made a carbonmade online portfolio and gave the link. Also used school specified upload site with fees where asked.

Same as @SculptorDad
Had a carbonmade portfolio (submitted link). It’s nice, has themes (so easy to work with), and looks professional. Found out that many art students use it here (at MX) for their college apps when not submitting a hard copy of their portfolio.
