Creating a Great Photography Portfolio - The Best Way to Get Hired

[@emmaguapo7759]

I only do photography as a hobby with occasional paid work and have been questioning myself on whether I should even have a website but this helped a lot. I think I may actually do it soon to start building a brand.

[@comfypeepo]

Did you end up starting?

[@Someone38482]

@@comfypeepo good question

[@thoms0999]

now I'm curious too :)

[@edgarausia]

Emma Guapo did you start your website?

[@der.kommentierende.komment5275]

How did it go?

[@TheShahed97]

[@matthewbrand6580]

Sam, I’ve been binging your content these past few days and been subscribed for about a month and I just have to say I really love your work. You simply produce and create amazing art and it’s inspirational. Thank you for all that you do and the content you provide. I hope all is well and much love.

[@rosshalliday7772]

Yep

[@franciscomsosa]

Absolutely love your portfolio Sam, has to be one of my favorite ones I've run into so far. I'm 3 months into photography and really loving it. Probably a bit early to start a portfolio but this is was a great video . Thanks for sharing!

[@julialincoln-stefan1066]

I appreciate your calm non-sensationally way to put this. I'm diving into new endeavours and creative challenges and you just helped me to distill my thoughts to the essentials again.

[@NickFaulkner]

Great tips, I will keep that in mind as I rebuild my portfolio.

[@jamesstewart3012]

Watching this for first time and wanted to THANK YOU! I am in the beginning stages of trying to create my side hustle in landscape nature photography. Very helpful!!

[@Musiqfan23]

I can across this tutorial at the perfect time. I’m in the middle of creating my site and creating my style. This tips helped in every way. Thanks

[@amazinglyelizabeth3669]

Thank you so much! I'm creating a photography portfolio for a job and you helped me understand what I should do. Your photos are amazing!!! P.S When I saw your name I just smiled b/c that's my little brother's name. It's such a beautiful name!

[@FlavioDeFeo]

Wow, I really enjoyed this (much more than I expected). Watched it from my phone, while taking a dump (like most of us here 😂) and I didn’t want to leave the bathroom until the end! Well done!

[@Julie.Dickson]

I've been searching for the same topic, watching different videos, but I think this video blew my mind. it's like I have a better vision of what I want now,

[@SamuelElkinsPhoto]

Appreciate it! So glad it helped

[@rohan_bpatel]

Thank you Sam, I have two questions: what platform do you use for your portfolio website and how/where do you get the cars/models for your photos if you don't have clients or work to present yet?

[@rubensarian5232]

This one really gave me good perspective on what to do. Thanks Sam!

[@twinspowertv1078]

Been waiting for this video! Always admired your portfolio!

[@mernaelsayed5514]

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video! You shed light on many key points and common thoughts i have that really make me spiral and not be efficient so thank you for this straight to the point self-aware prespective!

[@MikeChudley]

Haven't watched all of this yet but damn that setup looks clean. Audio is crisp as well.

[@shalomosaguona5641]

This was really helpful, I got stunned trying to make my portfolio and I didn't know what to do.

[@luissalazar2021]

Wow you inspired me, and I on and off being doing photography, I still used films, and thinking about the Fujifilm GFX100 just to have one, even if my wife disappeared, lol thank you for sharing.

[@marccontreras2239]

Super helpful vid Sam! Does anyone know the name of the template he is using? Im thinking of taking the next step for my website

[@julianbeach8030]

is it TALVA ?

[@elvitapurina]

he mentioned wexley, i think it is from an earlier version of squarespace

[@MichaelandAcacia]

Thanks for the help Sam. Will definitely take these into consideration when creating in the future. Keep safe man☀️

[@smarthousetech8593]

My God, you're style is Clean my man. Subbed

[@Parrot_911]

I've been searching for the same topic, watching different videos, but I think this video blew my mind. it's like I have a better vision of what I want now,😜

[@judasblewit]

Your photography is super clean. Love your edits.

[@ethansees4154]

This is such a helpful video! And the work is incredible as always. I'd love to see a video critiquing other's websites, like you were saying about having outside opinions. I think it would help give an even better idea of what's helpful and what's not if you were to look through what subscribers send in and give your thoughts.

[@BarcelonJ]

Thanks for knowledge! Definitely gonna take what you said to heart.

[@ToquzOghuzKhaganatekhan]

Prepare my best portfolio and present to studios at all cost

[@KaanSenel]

Very dope vid man! Thinking about restrucurinf my portfolio myself and you dropped a lot of useful tips there!

[@inspired917]

Your presentation is engaging; awesome video and portfolio! Thanks for sharing.

[@Itchban]

I really should update my portfolio. Thanks Sam!

[@herculesalexster]

thank you so much!. i was searching do portfolio in website. mostly i saw do portfolio in the book/megazine only.

[@CamiloCasta7]

1:24 this is why we need to be financially smart. Thank you for the video Sam. Very informative. Also, the new space looks great!

[@ryanquaresma9006]

Love the video Sam, thanks. Question though: What do you do with the thousands of photos you've taken, if not hundreds of thousands of photos? How often do you go through your archives and think, man these were some awesome shots even though they aren't current or usable for my current portfolio?

[@paulgochoa]

I was collecting as much of my favorite photos as I can for my portfolio, UNTIL I heard you say, "less is more". 😆 Thanks dude!

[@alexsamuelss]

Major heat as always Sam!

[@allthings_araba23]

Thank you Sam.

[@keertanasmurthy4207]

loved these tips. Thank you so much

[@emmillienne]

Can we talk about how clean and beautiful your space is 🥺🤍

[@Benjamin.Greenwood]

Your pictures are amazing! Love your work

[@MarcVisuals]

Thanks for the video! Great tips man. I'll be putting them to use.

[@varunjoel3281]

Hey! great video! Wanted to ask, what monitor is that?

[@BangBangNoee]

Hey bro, how did you manage to get that drop down menu on mobile? I've been looking on how to do it, or some kind of code but I can't seem to find any!

[@AJZolezzi]

Hello Samuel, congratulations for this video! I was looking for something like this lately so I could sort myself out with my photos. I am a photographer in progress and I still do not define a photographic style very well (something difficult because a few years have passed). My interest in photography was for landscapes, travel and surfing but we know that there is money in portrait and couples photography. I was very confused if I had to create different instagram accounts for each type of photos, it was crazy! Now seeing your portfolio, I understand that it is necessary to have your own style. I just added the subscribe button, keep it up!

[@fadelmahade3044]

Long time no seen. Welcome back

[@Ravinutella]

Great no-nonsense informative content. Thank you

[@austiinjohn]

i hit the like button before i even watch the video 😂 also, LOVE the new studio bro

[@KKP_yt]

What's the name of the background song on this video?

[@siphobiyam]

Thanks, for sharing this!!

[@mariapaniagua9095]

lovee, whats the name of the template?? thanks

[@jamesstewart3012]

Great tips, thank you for posting this!

[@alanapabon1970]

where's that calendar from?

[@elvitapurina]

I've seen some other artists say that you should stick to a theme/story when creating a portfolio. What do you think of that because I see that you have a completely different approach - post only your 'masterpieces'?

[@JOERUFFINO]

Great Video and helps sort things out in the ol cabeza

[@modernmusicstudio303]

This was really helpful, thanks!

[@melevonne]

Great video. I love your content and portfolio. I'd love to create a lifestyle and branding portfolio, but I have no idea as to how to get people to model. I've attended some great photo meetups, but most of my work is just nature.

[@jamilgotcher5456]

Mel, lifestyle work uses people that are not necessarily professional models. Start with asking friends or family to pose for lifestyle photos. There are so many freelance/instagram models that would love to collab with you I'm sure. Just make posts or story post on Instagram asking if anyone wants to collab with you because you are building your lifestyle portfolio.

[@43grit85]

I’m using a EOS r, I like how simple the 12pro max is, in your opinion can you get away with no pro camera?

[@andrepena]

Does anyone know how to make a gallery like that on squarespace? Great video Samuel BTW 💪

[@vhs8204]

When we sent to the squarespace portfolio to ppl who doesn't have squarespace account does it shower add pop ups like the shitty 500px

[@jairaiya]

How do you protect your work on square space from copyright? Awesome video btw.

[@ELuislopez]

Can you share which website to go to for a portfolio like this? How much you pay for it?

[@annalisa1080]

Very helpful. Thank you so much!

[@bernhardebner3105]

Great & helpful Video, thank you Samuel 👌🙏

[@180waves]

beautiful portfolio!!!

[@ArtChickTV]

Nice presentation. Very clean and easy to follow.

[@shinzychan5117]

Love ur work man. Just wanna clarify with u, I don’t see u using flash for shooting portrait? Do u think natural light is the way to go rather than flash ?

[@ajo9146]

Do you compress your images before uploading to website?

[@ncs1846]

how did you build this website?

[@bellamie.p]

What is your opinion on watermarking/protecting the photos in your portfolio?

[@kevinbojda]

Great tips !!! As always :) I have a question I love your bomber blue can I have the ref ?

[@tonyramirez1112]

how can i get a template like yours??

[@misterlove7034]

Do you sell presets?

[@sagarchauhan_]

Beautiful voice bru

[@tangyorange6509]

What you need is a flyer. If you actually want to get someone to see your shit, go up to them and give them a booklet of some of your best work, and why you think they should hire you.

[@bijoyyyy]

You are so inspiring. Thank you for everything you do!

[@kanatyazuz1247]

Do WE need a developper to make a portofolio?

[@axouldu78]

its better.at least you want a website looks like anyone else
