The Hype

01/10/09
Like any commercial photography business a client portfolio is vital to allow prospective new clients, advertisers and agents to both view and access your work for new and upcoming projects. Whilst we always meet our clients face to face and discuss our work over a more traditional physical portfolio we like to be able to leave behind a digital version that can be referred to if the need should arise. Our virtual portfolio offers our clients just this and can be viewed here at www.commercialphotographerportfolio.co.uk



Tim - "Like any good photographer its essential to have a collection of your work at hand in a physical format to show your prospective clients, everybody still likes the ability to touch and feel the quality of large prints, however once you've left the agency your portfolio normally follows you out of the door and for me in an age of technology it's just sensible to have an online copy that people can refer back to if they needed to. I hold an increasing number of seminars for both professional photographers and students entering the final elements of their degree courses, and I always hear about great work people have done but rarely get the chance to view it as they simply don't invest the time into showcasing their work effectively.
Years ago when I first started out a very famous picture editor once sat me down and said your only as good as your last picture, indeed people must remember your images after they have seen them, think about them and want to go back for a second look. I pride myself on being creative and drive myself to shoot work differently to the mainstream, in truth I think its been the driving force behind more than half the commissions we have taken on over the last few years. Being an individual matters these days and whilst it can be very disconcerting at times to swim away from the pack the rewards are there if you persevere. I'd also like to point out that no pixels were harmed in the making of this portfolio...lol"
