Print Portfolio Update

Tags: , , , , ,

I’ve been working on getting my print portfolio updated. I’ve never realized how overwhelming it may be to pick out the perfect images and trying to make sure everyone of them flows together with the next. I’ve been researching a ton on portfolio images and print portfolios. I’m hoping in the next couple weeks I can my my portfolio reviewed and can make the proper changes based on the recommendations. I’m going to post a couple links to some articles and blogs that have helped me through this tedious process.
Blog update (10 of 10)

Here’s a recent blog post by me brettludeke.com/blog that shows a couple shots of my current print portfolio.

Zack Arias does portfolio review/critiques in his blog section. Has them set up so you can watch a video of him on the photographers website flipping through each photo in the photographers portfolio. So far Zack has done 12 videos with each video having anywhere from 2-4 portfolio reviews. This has been a great resource for me.

Chris McPherson drops of his blog for A Photo Editor to review. He posted a couple slide shows showing a couple different portfolios Chris uses.

Here’s some good words of advice regarding portfolios from one of my favorite lifestyle photographers Nick Onken.

Here’s another blog post from A Photo Editor showing a couple photographers print portfolio’s by video. Very cool stuff.

Here’s the progression of Erik Almås portfolio on A Photo Editor once again. (APE is a great resource for portfolios)
