Portfolio feedback 

Portfolio feedback 

Finally a response. I’m hoping she does reply but I will contact other photographers and contact her again. Persistence is the key.

“Just to recap, the important thing is that you need a photography portfolio that addresses its purpose. If you are bringing more clients, share your best work on social media. For a job opportunity, find some time to create a small and concise website. It can just have one page, so you don’t need to go all out. If you are printing your portfolio, concentrate on how the images work together. Are they showing a range of your work or 15 images from a few different series that you are working on? Does the portfolio flow, or does the reader have to flip between portrait and landscape?” Here i have come across a guideline along with Ochis to summarise what i need to think about when making a portfolio. I will make a plan list of what i want to include and show and use my list to help construct and finalise what i want to include and show to my viewers.

Here is Emily Macinnes portfolio on instagram. Having a website easily helps you to link to popular social media platforms that help raise your portfolio to other viewers and you can like she has below add your website link onto your instagram. Instagram is a popular app where people share photos instantly and it has become a huge platform for photography good the bad and the ugly but as a photographer i think it is important to have a website page on instagram to capture every audience plus its free!

“Emily Macinnes (b. 1989) is a Scottish documentary photographer currently based in Glasgow. In 2012 she gained a BA Honours in Photography from Nottingham Trent University and later studied Photojournalism at the Danish School of Media and Journalism (DMJX). Emily has worked with various international NGO’s documenting local and global issues as well as more intimate stories of struggles faced closer to home. What unites her work is a common interest in people’s stories and a desire to creatively communicate the individual and emotional aspect of the issues she documents.”
What i have noticed with this portfolio is her website has links to each project and quite few photographs for each. Its only to the bar right at the end it has information about her and her photography. It’s difficult to look at website portfolios to making one physically however it is guiding me on how i’d like to construct mine and how i would have my website. She also had instagram and facebook links which i would possibly need to consider as social media is high platform for photographer now.
