You’re portfolio, or as its known as in the industry, your ‘Book’ is basically a collection of your best photographs bound together in a book or uploaded into your profile. This is probably the single most important means of promoting yourself within the industry. Actual printed portfolios should be limited to a maximum of 25 – 35 pages, but can be as little as 4 – 6 pages. However, your Internet portfolio should be as full as possible. This is because, unlike a situation where you would be meeting somebody one on one, there are far less time constrains and a prospective client can browse your portfolio at their leisure.
If you are going to a person-to-person meeting you should take your book with you. Your book does not need to be anything extravagant, a simple tidy folder is adequate. The industry size for Photographers Books is 14 ” x 12”. Good quality prints are the ‘norm’. If you have any published work, use the actual magazine page/s, known in the industry as tear sheets. Your portfolio should show the areas of modeling which you are most interested in, starting with one of your best images and also finishing strongly. Any images, which diversify from your specialism, should be placed in the last half of your book. |
