Last Wednesday Antje gave a talk about ‘Portfolio Project’ – On that evening she was addressing the initial steps in creating a portfolio and also talking about the groups joint project and where we are going with that.
Here is the resume of her talk:
Portfolio Building:
About yourself, so your strongest images (showcase) BUT also about your audience, not a monolithic thing, it evolves with you and with your (hopefully) expanding reach.
No usually a general overview over everything you do, unless it’s for an application to arts college / university.
For publication and for exhibitions a good base are series of photographs.
Portfolio Editing:
Don’t be daunted, rating your images is already the start to your portfolio editing work.
Don’t just go by what your favourite images are, someone else may not see what you see in them, run your portfolio by fellow photographers if you can.
Remember it’s an evolution and keep updating the portfolio as you continue to work on a project.
Factors influencing portfolio building and editing:
is the portfolio for galleries or magazines?
in either case, find out as much as you can about gallery/magazine, contact person (telephone, email), the way the want submissions etc.
But also, what are they about? what do they normally show/publish? how does your work fit in/contrast?
