Quality Over Quantity and Consistency

Prioritize on making consistent photo, every picture should illustrate your expertise on using light and composition in the style your aiming for. However, having a lot of different types of photos, it will be hard for potential clients to know what you do best.

 

Finding Your Niche and Story

You need to know your niche and story before you choose pictures. What kind of photography do you sell? Documentary, fine art, or commercial architecture? This question should be the main emphasis of your portfolio. Put your pictures into tight series or projects that illustrate how well you can keep a notion going over time.For example, set aside a space for one documentary project or a group of studio portraits that go together. This shows depth of thought and dependability as a professional.
