Portfolios That Leave an Impression (That get the job)

1. Angle 1: would be to interview an employer and find out what they like to see and what catches their eye when hiring, and possibly a couple of professors.


2. Angle 2: Interview galleries that display and sell artwork and photography. Find out what they look for in a portfolio, and what kind of diversity they look for.

3. Angle 3: Interview customers and potential customers, commercial and personal clients and ask what would impress them, and want to hire that photographer


Angle 1 is my favorite; I think that it would be most beneficial to photographers when looking for a job. I think that the other angles are good, but let’s face it; people want to know how to get hired. That is always a concern, and that is one of the major reasons I think this article would be the best and have the largest audience. There are so many liberal art students that end up changing their major to find a more profitable career. This might make someone reconsider and help others who would like to pick up some extra work on the side. Plus I think that if the article is well written it could help someone making their portfolio that fall into the other angles.
