What are your thoughts on this selection and could you recommend me any photos i should choose from my works which can be seen at dn1w3r (hendrik) on deviantART

A nice selection; my first thought is that I would submit no more than one light-painting image to avoid the 'one trick pony' look.

I think you mean the burning steel wool. And I would say don't use any off them.

Your making a portfolio for film school where you want to study cinematography so you should be including photos that rely on good composition, exposure and lighting the scene and not on gimmicky tricks.

I also want to know that if I create a printed portfolio, should i add titles or comments under the photos?
