7 Photos for Portfolio

If you’re considering starting a home-based photography business or looking to refine your current photography skills, creating a portfolio is vital. When I first started out, I had no idea what to create and where to start. But I wanted to capture my “first impressions” of various places and people I would travel to. So I gathered up my equipment and got to work. Here’s what happened after I created my first portfolio. It’s pretty much the same story for all of my portfolios.

First impressions count, so I wanted my photo to do the same.

I wanted my photos to stand out and to catch people’s attention before they even get to read my portfolio. I knew that if I was able to create an amazing photo, it would stick out among the thousands of other photos on my computer. After my first bad photo, I learned a valuable lesson. If I want to fail, I should take plenty of photos and don’t worry about whether they’re good or bad.

What I have found is that you can rarely please everyone, so if you’re not happy with your first portfolio selection, you’re not alone! The more photos you take, the better you’re going to get. And if you’re determined to improve, you should continue

taking photos, over. Doing this will show in your portfolio.

To start creating your best portfolio, pick a background or subject matter that you are most interested in. You can either take photos inside a studio or outdoors. Having an interest in your subject matters because it shows in the photos.
