Portfolio - Formal Elements
Definitions
- A photographic portfolio is quite simply a collection of work. The common misconception is that it is required to be a 'best of' of all the work you've ever done. Although this can be true in some cases, it is more likely to be a series of work with a unifying theme, style or taken through a specific medium.
Aesthetic - refers to the principles of the nature and appreciation of beauty. Judging beauty and other aesthetic qualities of photographs is a highly subjective task.
Resolution - is the quality of the image. As the resolution goes up, the image becomes more clear. It becomes sharper, more defined, and more detailed as well.

My portfolio
In my portfolio I will be using the formal elements and movement to explore animals and nature. The animal I will be mainly focusing on will be horses however I will also be looking at cats and dogs as well as wild animals. I will also be trying to photograph the equipment involved in horses, such as the tack used for riding.I am going to be looking at the body parts of the horse as well, such as the eyes and the mane. In order to capture movement I am planning to travel up to Newmarket and photography the Racehorses on the training gallops, the Links.
