    Show Your Teaching Edge Through Your Portfolio

    ADMI wants a lecturer who can both shoot and teach. Your portfolio is your first lesson — make it prove you can guide students from concept to polished frame.

    1. Curate a teaching-focused portfolio: Select 10–15 images that show range across commercial, editorial, and documentary styles. Include captions that explain your creative and technical decisions — this mirrors how you'd break down assignments for students.

    2. Demonstrate software fluency: Be ready to walk through your editing workflow in Lightroom, Capture One, or Photoshop. Mention any presets or actions you've built — it shows you can teach efficient, repeatable processes.

    3. Prepare a mini-lesson: You may be asked to deliver a short teaching demo. Prepare a 10-minute session on a topic like 'three-point lighting' or 'color grading in Capture One' — keep it interactive and practical.

    4. Highlight your lighting experience: Detail specific studio and location shoots where you solved lighting challenges. Mention modifiers, mixed lighting, and how you adapted to constraints — this reassures them you can teach hands-on.

    5. Show student work if you have it: If you've mentored or taught before, include samples of student progress. It proves you can communicate complex ideas and inspire growth.

    6. Know the local industry: Be ready to discuss the Kenyan photography scene — trends, client expectations, and opportunities. This shows you can prepare students for real-world work here.

    7. Emphasize constructive feedback: Teaching photography means critiquing work without crushing confidence. Prepare examples of how you'd give feedback that pushes students to improve while keeping them motivated.

    8. Ask about the curriculum: In your interview, ask how the Diploma program is structured and what resources are available. It shows you're thinking about student outcomes and how you can contribute beyond the classroom.
