THE PORTFOLIO
• 

If you plan to be doing portraits for a while, consider creating a
portrait portfolio. A portfolio is a place to display your work so
models can see the styles of work you have done. If you are
planning to charge models for your time, be sure to refresh your
portfolio on a monthly basis.
A portfolio should be a summary of your best work yet.
Try to choose your favourite picture from each shoot you’ve done
( not more than one or two by shoot). You really want to put the
emphasis on your best work .

• 

You should always credit anyone who took part in the shoot ( stylist,
model, MUA, HA, assistant photographer, etc.)
there is a legend you can use for credits at the last page of the
manual
