Description
30-Day Portfolio Slam
A FOCUS ON TABLETOP, FOOD, AND PRODUCT PORTFOLIO BUILDING
The goal of this workshop is to build a portfolio and develop a frame for doing it again or at scale. The process and system are definable, and they can be used again and again to develop a portfolio, book, project, or presentation.
What are we talking about when we use “portfolio” in this manner?
A portfolio is a curated set of images that show the photographer’s style and aesthetic vision within a defined set of images.
We are not using the term to describe all of the photographer’s work, but one section of it.
Think of a tab on your website.
You may have several tabs on your home page: people | interiors | food, for instance. The conglomerate is a portfolio, but so is each tab. There is a people portfolio, an interior portfolio, and a food portfolio.
However, you may be wanting to add a “beverage” tab to your site under food.
That would also be a portfolio.
That is the mission of this class: how to build out a portfolio in thirty days.
And to be sure, this system can be used for planning and executing a personal project, or a photo book, or an article for publication.
