Editing Your Own Work for a Portfolio Can be Tricky....and I Need Help!
I often develop an emotional attachment to certain images, while growing tired of others after staring at them for so long. I also sometimes have trouble connecting the dots and creating a cohesive flow from one image to the next, especially in a printed portfolio. I've gotten some great advice and help with editing already (which is how I got this far) but its still not quite finished. So since I need to stop procrastinating and get this new version of my portfolio printed, I've decided to take an opinion poll. I need to know which version of certain spreads work best, if the spreads flow cohesively from one to the next (picture flipping through a book), and if there are any images that should really just be taken out. So let me know what you think, but please be gentle...I bruise easily.

Fantastic work Sonya! The only one that doesn't work for me is spread #5. I think it is because one is B & W and the other color. I prefer the first one of #6. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteSonya, first let me say you are absolutly amazing! Your work is gorgeous! Spread #1 I like the second and third best. I think they complement each other very well. The rest are perfect as they are! I would love to see these printed! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies!
ReplyDeleteSpread 1:
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite work of are the shots of the woman and birds so I’d say “THIS AND THIS” – so that all four shots are included in your book.
Spread 2, 3, 4, 5:
Genius. I love them. Sooo Sonya Revell!
Spread 5& 6:
Keep them both.
Spread 7:
I would remove them both.
Spread 8:
The monster shot never, ever gets old. A classic. Have you ever considered putting the little girl with the yellow dress next to the monster shot? They seem to share a common “child’s imagination” thread. Just a thought.
Spread 9-13 are perfect as is. I am happy you end with the old guy. Strong finish.
great seagull shots...but i argue that seagull shots are generally overdone(everyone has shots of seagulls), and so i have a policy about them for myself...no seagull shots...still...your bird pics are pretty good. just a thought. nice fill flash stuff. better than you average photog for sure. despite the quality of the seagull shots and the cool atmospherics, i'd leave them out. you asked. your other stuff is more stuff 'only' you could do or whatever.
ReplyDeletesorry to be anonymous...not doing to hate or anything, i just like anon. if you delete it or disagree that's cool. i like your work. you are good.
