Who knew that building a portfolio would stump me? Taking pictures is one thing, but then what do we photographers do with those pictures? I’ve been thinking that I really need to start organizing my photos for my online portfolio. That’s something I can handle. I actually already have them pretty organized, as I categorize them as I transfer them from my camera flash card.
It seems common place in today’s digital era that a digital portfolio on a website is the most utilized way to create a portfolio. Maybe print portfolios have died off, but I still feel I want and need to create one. So, I’ve been looking into how I go about doing this, and it seems from my research that I can pretty much do whatever I want. As the artist, I have free reign over the creativeness in my portfolio.
I love to scrapbook; always have. My mom and I used to pull out all our pictures and supplies and scrapbook right at the dining room table. As a mom, I’ve wanted to make sure that I document our life in a creative way. I think that can translate to creating a print portfolio. Okay, so it won’t be nearly as embellished, but a layout of photos needs to be pleasing to the eye. Just like accessories and artwork need to be pleasing to the eye when decorating a home.
So, I’m going to work on creating both an online portfolio and a print portfolio and get back here soon with some results.
