If I were a new photographer, I’d invest in 1) a killer website, 2) an iPad portfolio and 3) and FTP service.ĭon’t get me wrong as a Print person, I love a beautifully crafted physical portfolio. Keep in mind that if you only have one book, be creative and tell clients all your books are out… they’ll want you more. Not just the photographer, but hair, make-up & wardrobe stylist as well. I just think touching and feeling it gives clients, AD’s & AB’s a lot more to talk about.īTW: I just finished A job that sent books all over the place. Not to say you can’t photoshop images and print them in your printed portfolio. Let’s put this way, have ever gone to see an apartment that you saw online and when you arrived you can’t believe it’s the same apartment. Look, I know that showing your books digitally is easier, but believe me there are still a lot of traditional clients, AD’s & AB’s who like to see a portfolio. Maybe the job is shooting something that will only go online. ![]() But, it really all depends on who’s asking and what they are asking for.

At least you can control the color and quickly revise the images as necessary. While I find it rather silly, as many computer screens are larger than the ipad, in which case I think you will get a better experience with the images, it does make some sense as well. I’ve heard of other photographers sending around an ipad with their work instead of a printed book. This really makes me wonder if I should be spending the time and money to print my work. They simply say, send me a link to the website, or send a digital portfolio focusing on this. Whenever I contact others about this photographer’s work, or am contacted about it, never do they want to see the printed version. This photographer dropped thousands on beautiful new portfolios and prints. I just redid portfolios for a photographer I work for. Getting started is hard hitting, financially, so every decision I make I’m putting a lot of thought into, what tripod to invest in, cases, website, etc. Or at least what I hope will be the storm of work coming my way. ![]() I am a photo assistant and studio manager that is taking steps to go out on my own, getting everything in place before the storm. The goal with this column is to solicit honest questions and answers through anonymity. Former Art Buyers and current photography consultants Amanda Sosa Stone and Suzanne Sease have agreed to take anonymous questions from photographers and not only give their expert advice but put it out to a wide range of photographers, reps and art buyers to gather a variety of opinions.
