Question Portfolio books - 04-27-2007, 08:29 AM


Hi out there. I want to put my portfolio into book form, as I've seen a couple of this type portfolio that were very impressive. Does anyone out there have experience with this?
I'm looking for recommendations of a company that produces this style book. Maybe the same companies that do wedding books? Any information would be much appreciated.

I guess no one out there has done a book for their portfolio? But how about some of you wedding photogs, any of those wedding book places do well with printing black and white?

Try the following: Azuka, Blurb, or Shutterfly

The latter 2 are fairly reasonable (less than $50 for a large one)

We use a really nice ArtLeather book for our presentation port. People are always impressed. And its durable, unique, and all that stuff. I got it at a discount when we 1st joined. I think AL offers 50% studio samples to new customers.

Thanks folks,
That narrows down the list at the top of this section a lot. I'll look into these.

I saw Holly's presentation portfolio at a workshop in DFW a few weeks back. It is impressive.

Holly,

Which book from ArtLeather would you recommend for port presentation. I too attended your workshop a few weeks ago in DFW; it was a GREAT port presentation.
