How to make a photographic portfolio?
Your portfolio does a number of things when using it to show your skills and technical expertise. Ten to twelve 8×10 prints in a simple portfolio (hence the name). The images should be the absolute best of your work, covering subjects including those usually used by the company where you are interviewing Your technical skills as well as compositional skills should be evident in each image. While editing for your portfolio, pick out many examples of other subjects to create specific portfolios for other interviews. After you have your images selected, put them on a CD and then take the CD to photo lab and have prints made from the top ten or twelve.
Printing: There is no point in printing in 8×10 if your camera is only a 3mp as it wont fit the page. if you have a larger MP camera then it will like a 8MP or higher. But im not sure on mp to size so don’t hold me to that. right myself I use 8×10 in size for my portfolio. The three main file formats for digital photographs are RAW, TIFF and JPEG. Both RAW and TIFF formats do not apply any compression to the photo to save space on your memory card. When your camera saves a digital photo as a RAW or TIFF file (if it can), the photo includes all of the information captured by your camera’s image sensor. JPEG is a far more common file format, and it does use compression. It is a much more popular format with the consumer market because it allows a 128 MB media card to store a ton of photographs.
