Ready for a creative challenge beyond monthly competitions? The NCP Portfolio happens every two years. It gives you the chance to dive deep into your photography and create a powerful, cohesive body of work.

Here you develop a unique theme and explore it through a series of connected images. Your theme could be anything that sparks your creativity, such as:

• Telling a story about a specific person or place
• Exploring a particular colour, shape, or texture
• Interpreting a single subject in multiple ways
• Developing a unique visual style across different subjects

The project calls for members to develop a portfolio of their work. While a portfolio is often interpreted to be a variety of photographs displaying the photographer’s skills in different areas, this exercise is intended to be a project with images presenting a cohesive theme.

Portfolio is for members at all skill levels. The emphasis here is creating a 'body of work' or a series of images. A "body of work" in photography refers to a set or series of images linked by a theme, project, or conceptual idea, which together communicate a story or artistic vision. Portfolio topics as as varied as photographers imagination. See the portfolio galleries here for the diversity of themes and subjects.
