Before you plan a portfolio, slide show, exhibition or a professional album, you must decide what is your subject and to edit your images accordingly. Link the photographs together with a them. If a shot does not fit in with the central idea, it does not belong - no matter how great it looks and you must reject it. However the same picture can be used again in another context.

Professional photographers carry the best pictures in portfolio's with examples of their work. The modern portfolios can be totally in a look of a web gallery or run as a slide show on a CD or on a DVD data. Some photographers are still using the traditional way and carrying around cases with their best images or slides to be views by clients, art directors or editors. Any way is good as long as it is comfortable for you. The modern portfolio simply is accessible of many clients whereas the traditional one is more limited but shows quality! Our advice to you is to create a portfolio that shows your personality in it. the best way is to create a CD with 20-30 images or 40 max. The ratio in the portfolio should be as follows 20-40 top images on one theme and then 10 of your top hits - your 10 best images. As a rule, 20 images sequence at the least. Art directors and editors are looking for something heartfelt to come out from the images. They would like to see how the photographers way of thinking and how close s/he can get to his subject.
