Start A Photography Portfolio
How to Start A Photography Portfolio
Do you have a bundle of good pictures but don't know where to start a photography portfolio? Don't you have sat down and thought of what you should put in and how big it should be? You've seen your friends, colleges and students with photography portfolio’s with covers with all varieties of materials from stainless steel to plastic, and leather? They may have an magnetic and fancy covers that are commonly very expensive but not so functional for a beginner like you. No worries. Ever heard don't judge a book by its cover? Well it's true; a standard black plastic cover works fine for exhibiting your photography portfolio. What really counts is not what outside but the inner pages are what counts, correct?
You're in all likelihood best bet is to stay with a plain black plastic cover and form on perfecting your photos inside. Please don't put any decorative sticks or light on your portfolio, it's not a holiday and stickers no way. It makes you look unprofessional and silly. This not your family photo album, right? This is thought to be the best representation of your most respected photography work.
As for the sizing, it really counts on what size the bulk of your photos are. I'd go with a overall maxium of 8X10. Your photographs are not this big so smaller sizes work well too. Realize that you need to make speically sure that the overall theme of your photgraphy is represented in your work or you might come in with with oversized photos and a portfolio that looks like you've riped it from a billboard.
Starting, you need to be careful to organize and look over your digital photos. Putting anything that just looks good can really hurt your overall photography portfolio. Try to organize them by theme since it will give the reviewer a sense that you can work with different theme's have an overall idea of how to make many photo's pop from one assignment
