<p>Hello everyone! I am going in to my senior year of highschool and I need some help with my photography portfolio. Although I will probably add some new photos before I apply to schools (Parsons, FIT, SVA, etc), I am having trouble deciding as of now what I want to put in my portfolio and what I should leave out. </p>
<p>Photos/Artwork I am considering: <a href="https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=c82c4a42ff0accd6%5B/url%5D">https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=c82c4a42ff0accd6</a></p>
<p>Many of the photos I included are cliche and I doubt I will include (faucet, water drop, simple portraits) But I figured I would throw them in there to show some range.</p>
<p>Some problems/questions I have:
1. I feel as though many of my more striking photos are manipulated. If I am submitting a portfolio of 9-12 pieces how many is too many photomanipulations? </p>
<ol>
<li><p>I am not a very strong traditional artists, but I do really like some of my sketches (more so than many of my "finished" pieces). Most the schools I'm applying to don't require traditional drawings in a photography portfolio, but should I put one or two in anyways?</p></li>
<li><p>Simply deciding which are my strongest pieces, especially when comparing photos from a series. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you!</p>
