Does anyone know for the photography option, are they looking for any specific format? maximum file size? also when they say "explores your visual storytelling" does it mean the pictures need to tell a story when viewed in a specific order or it doesn't matter as long as it is good? thank you!

[cheeeese3cake]

I am uploading my portfolios and under Edit Portfolio in my status check, it indicates that I should submit my samples as a link. Does that mean I will be submitting my film and photographs on a different platform then paste the link in the submission box?

where do people usually upload their pictures to?
