Isn’t it basically print out what you feel is your best ones and arrange them nicely? Like for eg on a collage and showing examples of your inspiration alongside it.

Essentially, that’s what I thought, yeah.

So, I got a bunch of my favourite photos printed up to A4 size, and fired them into a display book binder.

But then I got to thinking…well, why would you need a uni class on that? So I assume I’m missing something.

I need to get a few photos of babies / toddlers printed. I’ve obviously tonnes of photos of Soph, but none printed to A4 size. And because I’m social maladjusted, there are the same 4 or 5 people popping up through out the portfolio.

So, I’m wanting to place an open call for models on my Facebook page but before I do that, I want to tidy it up a bit…it’s a bit barren looking…And most of the people who have liked it are just my normal friends anyway. ¬_¬

And I want to get an actual website up and running. 

I’m thinking that I need all of these things in place before I even go to a local studio and get rejected anyway to ask if they have any positions open.

Which all need either time or money. Neither of which I seem to have enough of.

Does anyone have any experience with PRINTED PORTFOLIOS ?

Long story short, I’m getting things into gear about “taking my photography further” and so I’m going to go around local photo studios in Ayr to see if they want to take me on, even as an assistant / tea maker.

I have a portfolio mostly printed up. But I don’t know if it’s any use. I’ve never studied photography at college/uni and I think they have a folio prep segment to the course? Well, I know nothing of it. So, do any of you guys?

If I send photos / describe really well / make a gif of an interpretive dance about how I feel about the portfolio, would anyone be able to say with any certainty that it’s any good, or just useless?

Feel free to be totally honest…is there anything in this collection that doesn’t belong there?

There are only 3 pages, so it’s not like it’ll take anyone too long to have a mooch through it.

But really, ANON IS ON in my ask box, and I am asking for honest feedback…if something is shite, don’t hesitate to tell me.

Now is the time for you to unleash the motherfucking fury.

Since I had a wee whinge yesterday about my photos, I figured I should do something about it.

My Facebook page ( www.facebook.com/KittWakerPhotography ), for instance, looks a bit shitty. Step one to fixing that will be actually getting some sort of portfolio organised ( something I’ve been meaning to do for literally years )

Which means, I’m going to go through my “My Photo” tag on Tumblr and then add the “Portfolio” tag to the best ones….which will take me forever.

Meh.

But it’ll pay off in the end, I suspect.
