I'm a newbie. In this new digital age, is it more correct to have a portfolio with actual prints or is it better to have a laptop full of images? Thanks! |

Personally, I prefer a portfolio full of prints. The bigger the better (IMHO). My portrait portfolio is full of 11x14 images. IMHO, laptop LCD's are not the best in the world when it comes to color reproduction. --------------------------- Nikon D3 | 28-70 f/2.8 | 70-200 f/2.8 VR | 200-400 f/4 VR | 50 f/1.4 | TC-14E II | SB-800 | SB-600 "A child is not likely to find a Father in God unless he finds something of God in his father." - Unknown |

I would shoot for both!  Most view my stuff online and it serves as a good intro. The prints seal the deal! --------------------------- Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. - Dr. Seuss |

Are you planning to sell prints or images on a CD/DVD. If your goal is to sell prints then you need to show prints. --------------------------- Don Barnes The Photographers, www.thephotographers.cc The Ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic by professionals. 88mm gray filter plus whatever camera needed to activate it. |

Print print print - the monitors can look fuzzy and a great shot can look like a millions bucks in a nice frame/ portfolio. --------------------------- Boudoir Candy Photography * Belle's Photography * Belle's Blog* Facebook HotHolly's Book! |

Both but I find that finding a portfolio binder is getting harder and harder around here. --------------------------- Saundra's Photography Shakopee, MN Serving Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa Http://www.Saundrasphotography.com Focusing on Equine Shows/Events, Pet Photography and Pre-deployment Photos for Soldiers/Family Proud Member of Operation Love ReUnited and NAPP Follow us on: http://twitter.com/SaundraU http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/...2571125?ref=ts |

I'm planning on printing up a portfolio using the Millers photo books...they are only around 35 bucks so if I don't like it its not a big loss. I REALLY think that showing a person a tangible thing is where its at. --------------------------- 1d mkII, 20D, sigma 15mm f2.8, 28 1.8, 50 1.8, 28-70 2.8, 70-200 f2.8, 1.4 mkII extender. Fisheye and 28 1.8 are sigma ex, rest are canon. www.ShutterSnapStudios.com http://shuttersnapstudios.wordpress.com |
