SUMMARY
A photography portfolio is a sales tool designed to answer a client's question about your ability to deliver specific results. The gap between a skilled photographer and a hired one is often presentation; a well-curated portfolio communicates value more effectively than raw talent alone. Portfolios should contain 15 to 30 images with a consistent visual identity, avoiding genre mixing unless in separate sections. Image sequencing is crucial, with the strongest photos opening and closing the presentation to create momentum and leave a lasting impression.
