How to Build your Photography briefcase Posted: 10 Mar 2011 03:29 PM PST As a photographer there is no greater joy than being recognized for what you love doing. A large part of that recognition will come through the self promotional tactics you employ. One way to ensure you get recognition for what you do is to originate a photography portfolio which is second to none. Step 1) selecting your theme You may already have the pictures to originate a themed portfolio or you may be planning on capturing them over the next miniature while. Either way, your portfolio, like a well written book, should have some unifying theme. This theme can be conceptual or it can be technical. For example, your theme could be about courage, love, urban life, rural life, garbage. Alternatively you can originate a theme based on photographic technicalities. For example you could originate a portfolio showcasing all of your best wide angle work, or one which displays your best black and white work. The themes for creating a portfolio are only miniature by your own imagination. So take your time and originate a themed portfolio which means something to you.

By the nature of the portfolio itself, only your best pieces should be located within the portfolio. If you don’t’ have too many top picks spend some more time photographing until you get the desired results. Your portfolio is something you should be proud of, not something thrown together out of impatience and haste. Your portfolio should be manageable for the viewer to get through. Too often photographers fill pages and pages with photographs that the viewer will skim through to get to the end. Most audiences have short attention spans. Don’t take it personally, it’s naturally how we’ve been conditioned to see the world. If you’re photography portfolio is shorter, your audience will be more likely to slow down and spend more time looking at each photograph. For those of you who have been to art galleries showcasing a single artist work, you’ll remember, that their showcase was relatively easy to get through. This is because they don’t’ want to clutter the walls and they want to keep your attention the whole time. You must do the same as a photographer. Just because they make photo albums that can hold 500 pictures doesn’t mean you should try to fill it up. Narrow your portfolio down to 20-50 photographs. There is no hard set amount you need to ensue but this seems to be the range that most audiences would prefer. Step 3) Showing your work Now that you’ve put together your portfolio, it’s time to show it off. Keep it in a group space in your house, show your friends and family, but a digital copy online and show it around to galleries and exhibits if you’re looking to sell some of the photographs in your set. Completing your portfolio is a great feeling. It’s a great internal battle selecting the exquisite pictures for your portfolio because it represents you and what you stand for as a photographer. Take your time putting it together, but make sure your unblemished your project. Too many photographers shoot all day long and fail to present their work properly. Don’t let your photographs sit around in boxes in the closest. Take the best ones out and show them off! How to Build your Photography briefcase Visit : Pentax K-5
