RSPCA YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHER AWARDS 2008

A national photography competition for under 19s.

The Olympus portfolio

The Olympus portfolio is a tough challenge for any budding photographer. Have you got what it takes to put together five fabulous shots, linked by a great idea, location or subject? If so, then this is the category for you!

Picking a strong theme is your first step towards success. This could be about a particular species, all the animals in your favourite location or perhaps five different shots of your pet. You will need a good range of photographic techniques and be able to show this across five different images. One bad shot will spoil all your hard work, so choose your portfolio images carefully and take lots and lots of images. Its a good idea to ask for help in choosing the best ones and remember that they must all be different and special. Well, we did say it was a tough challenge....

For some insiders tips on what makes a good portfolio from chief photographer Andrew Forsyth click here. 

The lucky winner will be awarded a fab Olympus E-450 SLR  camera, a trophy to keep forever and lots of other goodies.

In 2008 the top photographer in the Olympus portfolio category was 15 year old Curtis Fowler with his brilliant portfolio that he took on a day out. Check them out in the winners' gallery below.
