So I’ve gotten a few more emails on this topic, from the actual portfolio itself, to what goes inside it.
It’s hard for me to comment on what should go inside your portfolios if I haven’t seen your work. Obviously. Regarding the subject matter that should go into portfolios…for example, portraiture and landscape in […]

A great portraitist at a renowned photo gallery.

A Photo Editor posted about talent in photography and what it means to them…a great from-the-gut line of thought. It engendered a slew of comments as you can imagine.
I just finished watching half of the Genius of Photography series over on Ovation TV that What’s the Jackanory mentioned and there’s a fantastic […]

I feel like I’ve been seeing this more recently…advertising where the photographer is given a big credit on the ad. Terry Richardson shot the new Belvedere Vodka campaign featuring Vincent Gallo (though I don’t think that’s him below) and all the print ads have his signature scrawled across the ad.

Interesting to see that the […]

At that Blind Spot series a few weeks back, Collier Schorr made a comment (and I am wildly paraphrasing here) that she always finds it amusing when a client calls and says that she is the perfect fit for their product…and one time the product in question was KY Jelly (which apparently Ellen Von Unwerth […]

How to get on the cover of French Vogue, shot by Bruce Weber…look amazing, know people and be a 6 foot tall black cross dresser with fantastic legs.

Lonely-at-the-top editors and how they get by, and an interesting note on the 50th anniversary issue of V, with an accompanying 50-page portfolio by David […]

Welcome back from Thanksgiving everyone.

This has been blogged elsewhere, but I’m finally getting around to it…Sorry!  Nutopia is the noted portraiture photographer Platon’s (of Art Department, represented by the highly respectable agent David Maloney) forum dedicated to reviewing and sharing new photography by up-and-comers, in a truly honest, everyone-is-equal, salon style setting. They have launched […]

that really isn’t.
Part of what we do as agents is to try and parcel out time for our photographers and their clients. It’s always a give and take of course…1st option, 2nd option, a good 2nd option…trying to make sure everyone is happy.
Anyways, this happened somewhat recently…an art buyer wanted a ‘huge favour’ and […]

I’ve been getting a few questions in this vein, and in light of What’s the Jackanory’s recent post (best of luck as you go off on your own or look for a new agent!) here are my thoughts on portfolios.
The actual portfolios that is. The large tomes of leather, steel, plastic, wood and acrylic […]
