well, maybe just for me and anyone who may care...i just got my grade back for my first photography project back from college and i got 100.

now i get to work on my second project (still life and a studio portrait)

i got an appointment with a lady i met at work thatll let me do the portrait for this project, once im done with that i can go on to the still life which i have no idea what im gonna do. probably just the cliche tea cups and plates close up shot or something simple like that.

when this is all done i get my certificate and hopefully itll be easier to get a job at a portrait studio, itll be better than just goin into a studio and asking if they need an assistant and all i have is a camera and a hobby for photography

Congrats. I wish I had received 100% on my projects. I never did. My teacher was very detailed on how he graded. Then again it makes sense. If you give out 100% for sub par work (or work that is less than perfect), then how do learn to improve. I am by no way saying you do sub par work.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Congrats on the grades.

Start putting a portfolio together. Without that you will have a cert. and a hobby for photography, which will still not get you hired because they want to see your work. Portfolio is the number one thing in this world haha.

thats the one thing i dont understand, i was not expecting 100% at all, i dontk now how seriously this school takes this photography class, my high school photography classes were harder than this, but then again that was film and black and white and had a darkroom and very very specific projects

A lot of people are making their portfolio's in PDF or Powerpoint presentations now. It doesn't have to be physical prints. Mine is saved on my computer and ready to be burnt to a disc. When I started making it I put my best work at the time, and I remove or replace pieces if I feel they aren't up to par anymore or don't represent me like they used to.
