Watch This Before Marketing Your Photography

I switched from Reader's Digest to Scott Chothinyo for all my bathroom reading needs and haven't looked back since.

Hahaha

This has probably been the most concise and informative KZbin presentation I’ve seen in a very long time. Cheers Matey 🍻🍻🍻

Great video. Love the statement "your website is not your portfolio". So easy to think it is. Once that idea is ingested, it's quite liberating.

[@PREEZYDAKID]

Best and most simplistic breakdown of the differences and nuances between social media, website, and portfolio. Great video, thanks for the tips and perspective!

[@Joshua82PDX]

Good stuff, I agree with all of your points. A good, candid social media really endears us to people as the person/artist/hard worker behind the lens. I find that clients value the personality of the photographer almost as much as the quality of images they produce.

[@dangilmore9724]

I generally curate specific portfolios to meet a specific customer's needs. I catalogue my images according to subject, etc., to help me construct a given portfolio. The mermaid works like a charm for me because I'm in a market area where there aren't many photographers that can handle very narrow and specific niches.

[@alexanderpons9246]

Hmm, it makes a lot of sense the way you explained it! Funny I assumed that a website was the collective portfolio of a creative, thank you for your perspective.

[@michaelheliker2835]

Your content recently has been spot on in terms of timing for me. Thank you!! Great advice. You're pushing me to think more strategically and I didn't really have a way to do that yet... Thank you!

[@kikevigp]

Brilliant. I want more 😅

[@simonrhys]

This is great advice !

[@michael195b]

Great advice. Not knowing any better I thought a portfolio would be just a reflection of your website.

[@joelmoskowitz5170]

Read video! Watched it, and immediately posted to Instagram

[@wendyhayes1046]

Thanks for the breakdown. Good stuff!

[@joecamaratta4573]

I had completely the wrong perspective on a portfolio! Thanks for helping me understand the difference.

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PhotoArtBrussels]

Great subject! Thanks Scott!

[@pix4japan]

Great food for thought! Thank you for explaining the differences in the way you did.

[@michaelmlodzianowski956]

Great video Scott, Thank you

[@geoffreybjohnsonphototography]

Great video Scott now I’ll take a look at my social, website and portfolio content differently thanks

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

Glad it was useful

[@charlieross-BRM]

I am not clueing in to one thing - where is a portfolio created/hosted/disseminated? I imagine these are for that specific clients eyes only and then it might be pulled down / deactivated weeks or months later. Under the website's domain and unlisted or some other method? What I mostly keep busy with is photographing and documenting new works of art in progress and those visuals are only emailed directly to collectors and curators, or hosted as unlisted/password clips on KZbin for them. (none of the recipients care about or probably even are unaware of Vimeo). They are not on the artists' sites nor mine until they are for sale publicly or in a public gallery. Thank you.

[@jimskowyra7879]

Good and timely video. I've been looking for a lightweight gallery tool. Going to give Gridzy a try. And thanks for the discount.

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

Glad to help

[@Twobarpsi]

Solid advice Scott!

[@joysrivastava]

Wow ! This was so helpful ! Thank you so much for this ! Just took the freelance plunge ! PS we really appreciate the vids and advice!🙏🏻🍻

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

You're so welcome!

[@stevecooney1361]

Thank you, great vlog. Just what is needed. ❤

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jasonwilde5335]

Great video Scott as per usual. A question. When visiting potential clients to show your portfolio do you use an iPad or hardcopy. In the above video you mentioned an iPad and I ask because I was told by an agent that portfolio iPads are a no-no. Maybe you could talk about that?

[@ronin5th]

Thanks for the information. I wonder if you can clarify something. After curating a portfolio(s), how do you send it to your (potential) client? Would you create a gallery and sent them a link to that gallery and should that link be secured? Similar to if I was sending images to a client for proofing or sending final images? I apologize in advance for being daft with this one. Cheers. Ps Do any indoor cycling in the winter months? Thank you

[@mk38451]

Great video!

[@pure10xy]

completely agree with you. which program do you use for the portfolio

[@Popa_Bogdan_Light_Drawing]

Thank you!

[@timothyjgmiller]

This is great information. Can you go into more detail on selecting a specific portfolio and tailoring it to the right clients? There is not that much information out there on this topic, and most of what is out there isn't helpful for your kind of approach.

[@stewsview5164]

Can you talk about portfolios. Is a printed book needed? Is a digital portfolio ok? Do I need both? What about a drop off portfolio? What do you suggest as an agent? What have you found is best as a photographer? What is currently fashionable and what doe agents or art buyers prefer to look at? If you can do a video on this that would be stellar!!!!! Thanks. =)

[@lizaheider]

Very good 😊

[@semperfi-1918]

Another great video

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

Thanks a lot

"We love your portfolio. Could you do that same bold graphic design in Black and White?" The Client.

[@ayespyphotography1715]

How would you initially present your Portfolio to a potential client if it’s not on your website? A slideshow of some sort?

[@lifeshotsphotography3891]

Just wondering, how's the portfolio then different from a treatment? Or would you consider those 2 to be slightly interexchangable?

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

A treatment answers a problem and shows your specific method to achieve it and your understanding of the brief. A portfolio shows off work that a brand might be interested in. Generally you don't have writing in a portfolio either.

[@lifeshotsphotography3891]

@@TinHouseStudioUK ah right, there's the difference, thanks for that!

[@danielx555]

I just caught the last 30 seconds!

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

Thanks for stopping by

[@6minutemedia543]

New mic? Needs a fair bit of EQ.

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

yeah my last one died suddenly haha.

[@patrickphotos]

Was wondering if you have any experience of the Bristol area of Somerset being a hub of creativity in the UK or is it still London? Do any of the scrollers of your Instagram account geo located in Bristol bathrooms?

[@oldemirolima1287]

👌

[@jay10242]

There's lots of fine art photographers in instagram with portfolio like pictures with their own names and tenses of thousands likes...?

[@CP23798]

Only plebeian's make money with their photography. Sniff. Just kidding. Good info.
