4 Steps to Building Your Portfolio
Something that ALL creatives, and photographers specifically are striving for:
Building your portfolio!
Whether you are just starting out in the photography world, or you’re wanting to branch into a new area of photography, building your portfolio is crucial! Potential clients will look at your past work to see if your style is what they’re looking for.
But what if you want to book clients that are completely different than your past work? Friends, it. is. possible... It just takes a little creativity!
First, shoot for family or friends! I don’t know about you, but I have a couple friends who were always down to jump in front of the camera for me to try out new things. Shooting with people you know 100% takes the pressure off and lets you focus on the creativity without the stress of your paying client. No embarrassing missteps, no awkward moments. Just you and models you already love!
Second, you have a MAJOR opportunity to utilize in the photography world. Have you ever participated in a styled shoot? If not, this is your time! Join a local photographer facebook group or community. Keep an eye out for other photographers in your area booking styled shoots and inviting other photographers! Oftentimes these shoots cost a little bit of cash to cover the expenses of the set, models, makeup artists, and props, but it’s a freaking awesome way to expand your portfolio. (And it’s also a great way to make connections in your community! You’ll get to meet so many other awesome creatives!) You can sign up for styled shoots near your home OR in a destination you want content from.
After that, there’s a HUGE step you cannot forget about in order to build your portfolio. It’s the simplest one, but likely the easiest to forget! You have to keep your website + social channels up to date! It doesn’t matter how many new images you have… if you aren’t advertising them, no one will know that you’re working on new things.
Last but certainly not least… Get excited about your new work! You might want to have content from various places with various scenarios, but you. will. get. there. You’re absolutely killing it, and this new portfolio is going to open up so many new doors. Just wait and see (& keep working hard)!

I want to thank all those who have been helping others get their loved ones back with the help of Dr. Odunga. You guys really helped me find the right spell caster.
This is about a real spell caster who did a great thing for me. My name is Kurtis Williams. This testimony is about this great spell caster Doctor Odunga who helped me restore my love life back. Me and my wife had a fight and this fight led to us filing a divorce paper with the court and I had made up my mind. My wife was also at the same time furious about the whole issue and my family was broken into two opposite sides. With advice from a good friend of the family I decided to save my marriage and consult a spell caster to save my marriage. I went online into the internet and searched for a real spell caster’s testimony and after reading the testimony of Doctor Odunga I knew he was the spell caster needed to save my marriage and my family from being divided. It was a twist of fate when my wife came to me one evening and said she had withdrawn the divorce papers and she didn’t want to leave me anymore. She loves me so much. I knew that the spell had worked and my marriage had been saved from jeopardy. This is a real spell caster and I believe there are people who need the help of a spell caster. Why not contact the one and true spell caster to put an end to all your problems and save your love life just like he did save my marriage. Thank you so much doctor for everything you did. If you want him to help you, contact him at Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App Him +2348167159012. You can watch my video on youtube through this link too https://youtu.be/5dnlReUb3JU
