Photography - How To make a Portfolio

[habadashery2009]

I'd like to see you do an in depth instructional video on how to do wedding photos

[dagnygallo]

Thank you for your excellent idea! I've been asked recently to create a portfolio for a client who is a dancer and this book idea is alot cleaner and more professional looking than just the plastic sleeved book for her to present in an interview. This will also save me and the client alot of time and money!!

Adorama is giving me a 14 page book i can fill for free!

[sasktank]

these books are frikkin cool....thanks Jared

[raneshraj209]

wat size book would i need if im shooting on a dx body. i found it a bit difficult to have the whole image on one page and i end up having to cut off the sides of the pics.its pretty annoying.if anyone has any ideas that would be great.

[jh3835]

@raneshraj209 dx is 2x3 ratio. i think any page with 2x3 ratio should fit a full print.

@JaredPolin What is the reAson behind using lab prints over Adoramapix's software? Quality? Personal preference? Different options?

[ArtbyDecay]

This has NOTHING to do with MAKING a portfolio. This is an AD for Adorama... FAIL

[mike4food]

@JaredPolin What do you think about using an iPad for a portfolio.

[3guys1girlandfetus]

hey jared could you please do a video on the program you used to make the photo album

tthank you in advance

[kobi8231]

Would you mind making a video or explaining the process of how you make it externally?

[gigicalifornia]

...what's that sound @ 0:35 ?...

[firehorse74]

hey jared do they ship to uk?

[harimaugoblok]

@firehorse74 - use blurb.com - same thing!

[bimse111]

i HAVE to know......! Where did you get that chair? I've been looking for a better chair for god knows how long.. And cant find anything decent :(

Great video btw

Cheers from denmark

[JaredPolin]

@bimse111 staples.

[HeidiIvy]

strange days indeed- I am a little jealous....that portfolio book idea is indeed a good idea......the jpegs print nicely full size? Adobe RGB???? CMYK???? Guess I must do the research...cool stuff, nice hair.

[NIKK3800]

how much did you pay for that book ?

[WarrenAckary180]

Love the idea Jared, sure beats a pile of photo's given to a client to fiddle & thumb through.. thankyou for sharing.

[eleventhphotograph]

Cool, I'll have to check this out!

[Knoptop]

The two page full shots look great in that book!! Good stuff!

[dcleve11]

do you check "apply photo correction"?

[JaredPolin]

@dcleve11 no i dont.

[xGIBROx]

What a great idea... you mentioned that the 9x12 is suited shots taken with FX cameras, what would be the ideal size for nikon DX bodies?

[JaredPolin]

@xGIBROx its the same. 

[aliasangelalias]

Fro, If someone is building a Portfolio, would you recommend putting all my work in a book such the one in your hand or get a iPad2 and use Portfolio App to display my work to potential clients?

[o9a6la]

what do you think about using Ipad as portfolio?

[croc122]

@o9a6la Sure, an iPad would be easier and cheaper in the long run, but think about shelf life of the data. Unless you have your images backed up, you may never get your images back if, say, your new iPad is stolen, or worse, destroyed.

[val2zs]

Any1 else seeing a monster on matisyahu Oo? On the cover

[galaxiedance]

That's a very cool tip! I might use this for a baby album :) Thanks Jared

[afrodude01]

What is the "other program" that you use to create your book?

[JaredPolin]

@afrodude01 lab prints.

[ThePurpleleprechauns]

plzz exsajurate FRO knoes Phtoooooooo dot commm more love when u did it

[KennyBetterment]

Very nice. I might make one some day

[crysisguy05]

are you aware of the fact that Matisyahu was on Red Band?

[JaredPolin]

@crysisguy05 no why?



[crysisguy05]

@JaredPolin Do you know what Red Band is?

[jameslcr]

looks quality :D

[nikfoto35]

is that a fart at 0.36... "and I.."... oh creaky leather chair.

[AxCYeR]

i fuckin love it when he says "jared pOlin - frO knOws phOtO dot co-om" :D

[funincluded]

@AxCYeR

I love to hate it :)

[hassoun6]

The 35% sale ended yesterday. We should have seen this before. Oh well.

Thx Jared I've never seen this idea before.

Also, do you have to stretch photos sometimes? I find it hard to fill large sizes at 300dpi, even at 15MP...

[Kentonuk]

Can you release your own photo book id love to get one

[jimmycrackedcorn226]

You're awesome, Jared. This was great information

[aadiflesher]

I really like that, I want to make one :)

[AlTyler138]

[hbfsm92]

[ribinthedude]

[AlTyler138]

[JaredPolin]

@ribinthedude no, i used my own edit of the photo.

[Mozo901]

Hey Jared I heard your favorite song was that new Friday song that came out by Rebecca black

[alectomonyo]

[alfieliu]

[fingerboardpt]

[MrWp97]

im interested...but how much (about) the whole portfolio cost?

[JaredPolin]

@MrWp97 Last week I saw this size was on sale for 115$ but smaller sizes are less expensive.
