<p>This may be the wrong area to post this, but it seemed appropriate.
I'm a senior in high school right now and I want to apply to Calarts (a few others too, but mainly Calarts) for the photography program. I was just wondering if I could get some feedback on some photos I might choose for my portfolio. I'm very actively working on building a portfolio, so I will have many more to choose from in the future. Does my work seem decent as far as acceptance goes? What should I do to build a strong portfolio?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated, especially from Calarts students or anyone who knows someone at Calarts.</p>

Oh, nearly all the images are from scanned darkroom prints, so the quality you see isn't nearly as good as the actual print.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think these are extremely strong images and the composition shows an advanced eye.
I don’t know anything about CalArts but your photographs would be interesting to anyone looking at portfolios.</p>
<p>I especially like the square format color images: Awning, Cycle, Projection and I’d Rather Be. I could imagine a whole show or book of this series.</p>
<p>I’d also like to see more of that chair in the different locations. </p>
<p>a little more…
If you continue your work in this vein I do think you will have strong portfolio for CalArts. Pay a lot of attention to how you sequence the work when you finally show it. I think it would be stronger if you didn’t mix up the images randomly. If you can, get some feedback from them at a National Portfolio Day. They are one of the few art schools that allow you to tailor your portfolio to the major you are interested in. They like to see a variety of media if you have it and it as strong as your photographic work but if you don’t it won’t be a problem.</p>
