Does Every Photographer Need An Online Portfolio

By Nitin Khanna

The simple answer is…Yes!

Whether you are a photographer, entertainer, artist, event planner, PR

specialist or engineer, you should have an online portfolio to have an online

presence showing your work.

Show Your work

If you are dreaming of a career as a professional photographer, then right

guidance, skills, practice, network, and portfolio can make your dream come

true. Even if you don’t consider photography seriously for your career, having an online portfolio let people

know that you take photography passionately, and you enjoy doing it.

Tips • Selecting a portfolio design that fits your

style will help display your photography in a unique fashion. Your site allows you to get creative in how the pictures are exhibited on the page, and in which order they appear.

• So, keep utilizing social media tools to post a few of your best on your social profile page, then link them to your site to have audience view more. This will make readers more likely to see your other work too.

Let Your Followers have an At-a-Glance Look at Your Work

The thing about Facebook, Flickr, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+ or any other social photo sharing platform, is you post and post

again. An online portfolio allows you curate what your followers

see, letting them dribble over your best work.

Give Your Work a Self-Critique

By only posting your best work on social platforms, you continually

get to know about your fans respond. This lets you know how

you are evolving as a photographer and after a while, this will help you

improve and let you take your photography skills to the next level.

Define Yourself as a Photographer

The online portfolio isn’t just about sharing photos. It is about sharing who you are and how you have grown as an

artist. This can be shown in your portfolio’s design, in your “about”

page text and in your photo selections. This will eventually help you brand yourself; make you popular for a

certain style in everything you do.

Developing the essential skills required to be a professional

photographer is one thing and maintaining an online presence is

another.
