Photography Portfolio Building & Branding Session 1: What Is a Portfolio?

In the first session of Blurb’s series on Portfolio Building and Branding, Dan Milnor walks you through everything you need to consider when wanting to create your photography portfolio. From using Blurb’s free software to collaborating with other photographers, Dan helps get you started on your portfolio. Dan dives into the details surrounding the following topics: Portfolio software and Blurb’s free bookmaking software. Dan discusses various software options, including Bookwright, Adobe InDesign, PDF to Book options, and Lightroom. Portfolio formatting options and tips. With photo books, trade books, magazines, and more, Dan breaks down the multiple formatting options Blurb offers for your project. Advantages of a magazine portfolio. A magazine format is the perfect solution if you’re looking to update and share your portfolio regularly. Notebooks and journals for your photography portfolio. Dan loves notebooks and journals and shares why they can be a fantastic tool for your portfolio. What is a book? Dan shares a short video to help open your imagination to the unlimited possibilities of a book. What is a photography portfolio? A photography portfolio is a collection of work that illustrates who you are as a photographer. Dan challenges the idea that a portfolio needs to tell a story or if it needs to look a certain way. Portfolio examples and professional reviews. How to define your goal. Is your portfolio for a personal or professional reason? You then need to define your price point and materials. Printing a layflat book as a portfolio. Dan breaks down what a layflat book is, shows an example of one of his books, and why you may or may not want or need to print your portfolio in this format. How to edit your photography portfolio. Dan discusses the importance of editing your portfolio and how to present it and let it breathe. Understanding this will help you make decisions as simple as which photo to place first and which to place last. Designing your photography portfolio with specificity to your audience. With Blurb, this is an exciting possibility. Blurb’s print minimum is only one copy, allowing you to design your portfolio with an individual in mind. Collaborating with other photographers to create a group portfolio. This may seem like an odd recommendation for a portfolio, but it’s seen more and more often. It’s a great way to cut print costs and find organic work opportunities due to one of your collaborators handing it out. *** To stay in touch and learn more about Blurb, please like this video and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
