Building a Portfolio
One of the most exciting things a photographer gets to do is show off his/her work to others. This is a time where, like all artists, get to receive feedback from outside sources. Receiving feedback can either be a very exciting thing, or something you wish you never heard. Though negative feedback can result in anger and giving up, it is important not to think about it too much. It might sound cheesy but don't let negative feedback anchor you down too much. When previewing your work to others, it is probably best to expect the worst. One thing I have learned about feedback is that those who are inthralled with your work will always ask to see more. Personally, receiving negative feedback on anything, not just photography, does not usually bother me due to the confidence I have in my work and what I have done.
When building a portfolio, it is important to include personal favorites and crowd pleasers. I like to throw in a equal mix of both. Below are a couple of my photographs which you can often find in my exclusive portfolio.
