Portfolio Research
Firstly I wanted to do some research into the types of portfolio I could make given how Coronavirus has changed out hand-in. Initially, I would have made a box portfolio but I’m quite glad this isnt a requirement anymore as I have found that I would much rather my work be displayed in a leather-bound portfolio.
I started to look at the ways other photographers had designed their leather portfolios so I could get some inspiration for layout. Although this example is of a food and travel photography portfolio, it still shows layout, branding and image selection. “The edit opens with a series of images that presents her technical skill as a food photographer before moving into the short collections that emphasize travel. Three double-page spreads were used to break up the layout, and each was chosen to highlight the categories represented in her book”
Things I would like to carry through from this example is the use of the logo on the first page of the book as well as her name on the front, it makes it look like more of a professional document before getting straight into the photographs. I also like the unfussy layout, every image being large and almost full bleed is nice and only having one image per page makes them easy to read. I also like the use of the double page spreads to break it up slightly so it isn’t the exact same layout on every page.
As much as I would love to produce a real leather portfolio with my name engraved into it, this just isnt viable in the current Covid-19 situation. It’s also an exceedingly costly product and I’d need to make sure I was 100% happy with the images included in it. I started to look at magazine portfolios after having been shown them by Jodie from House of Juba. Theyre a great merge of a traditional portfolio, but one that can be sent out, handled a lot and used in interviews where leather ones arent always required. These are a few of the magazine layouts I have been looking at.
