Below is my UHOVI Photography Portfolio Course Feedback : Tutor Paul Appleby
This is an exceptional portfolio that clearly shows your level of skill with a camera. Your composition, exposure, focus, depth of field, eye for detail and an interesting subject are present in every photograph as well as your ability within post production to complete the process. The HDR photographs are of publishable quality and of a far superior standard to the students at the university. The portraits successfully create the illusion of being within that time period, some of the images feel more natural and others feel a little staged, particularly the beggar, but generally this work is also very good. The still life images break up the style a little which is good, the cobblers feels a little out of place because it feels more inline with the other folders but generally it is nice to see your skill applied to a different style of image making to show your versatility as a photographer. It is very difficult to find any fault at all in this work so that I may offer any constructive criticism, the work is very good and shows that you deserved your award.

Marks : 93/100
