In this video I’m roasting (yes, brutally) some of your photography portfolios—but the point isn’t to be mean, it’s to make the feedback useful for everyone watching. I asked you to send in your PDFs, websites, and socials, and I picked a handful to critique like a client or art buyer would: fast, picky, and based on what’s clearly communicated. We look at what works, what confuses, and what makes a portfolio feel “hireable” versus just a random collection of nice images. The big takeaway: your portfolio is a business tool, not a diary. I talk about clarity (what do you shoot, for whom, and why you?), consistency (editing, subjects, and intention), and ruthless curation (less images, more impact). I also touch on presentation choices—PDF vs website, sequencing, and how socials support (or sabotage) the story you’re telling. If you want to be reviewed next time, you can send your portfolio and socials to my team email.
