How many photos are in your portfolio?

3 years 11 months ago #681523 by Chester Foster
I'm working on refreshing my portfolio and having a professional book made.  How many photos do you have in your portfolio in 2020?  

I'm at 47 and thinking that this seems like a lot.  I have broken them down into 4 categories.

No more than 24 in mine. I swap them out as I find something better taken.

I'm close to where you are Inez, I'm at 38 currently.  I'm OK with this, however might max it out at 40.

Over the years my professional portfolio has always been in the 20-24 photo range.  If you get a album made, you can get very thick stock used for the pages, this looks really nice and presents well when showing people.

30, I use to have 21 for the longest time.  I gave in and just couldn't weed out any more shots.  Honestly IMO, as long as you don't have hundreds, you are good and assuming your work is good, your viewer will appreciate your shots.

My portfolio is digital and on my iPad. It contains thousand
of pictures in many categories and sometimes in different
versions side by side. Both photos and layouts are in it.

I stoped producing portfolio hard copies some 7 years ago.
