CloseUp Application Portfolio

This was basically my first serious portfolio that I used for a competition. There was no subject. All the organisers (C/O Berlin) asked for was ten representative pictures for my work. After browsing for very long through my stock made a first selection of around 200 images, which I printed in 10×15 to spread them out on the floor. Slowly the selection narrowed down to 40. After hearing half a dozen opinions that went surprinsingly in all sorts of directions I decided for the ten pictures you see below. My portfolio was positively accepted and I was taken for the projects. To see the projects results, just click here.

A very simple, yet important lesson I have drawn. I do not have something like the “ten greatest picutres”. Once it narrows down to a few dozen you like at the moment it’s all about how they look together.

Under each image you can the year and the place were it was taken. I plan on making galeries were I comment on each picture in the future.
