The Portfolio and Career Development Center was created to give all students a professional resource for portfolio development.
The Center, run by DEC’s professional photographer, is located in the Van Keulen Complex.
Students are encouraged to set up one-on-one photography sessions with DEC’s professional photographer as early and as often as possible during their tenure at DEC. A student portfolio should reflect your very best projects and the needs and interests of the people you plan to approach for work. By scheduling a one-one-one session with the photographer, you can find out what potential employers want to see and select work samples that are as close a match as possible. The portfolio makes it easy for possible employers to imagine working with you.
DEC’s professional photographer is available to take professional photographs of student work, teach students how to light their own pieces for photography purposes, how to use social networking when promoting themselves and their products, provide advice on how to layout and design a competitive portfolio, and so much more.
