Coffee + Portfolio Review
Posted: September 3rd, 2009 | 6 Comments »This morning I am reviewing my new printed portfolio. This is a whole new thing to me since I have been shooting digital. I have been living in the digital world for so long now, but my photography history has roots in film and printing, and oh man, how I miss the dark room! I miss holding and seeing my own photographs, the smell of chemicals and the pains to make a print look just right. Pictures have such a different feel when they are printed. The papers, the colors and deep velvety blacks come off the paper in such a wonderful way. It’s like magic. Truly such a different experience then seeing an image on a computer screen.
As I am getting ready for meetings with other photographers and hopefully future clients I have made the leap to having a nice printed portfolio to show off my work. I love prints and seeing my work in the real world.
Here’s a little peek at my new portfolio. Hooray!
Looks beautiful! There’s nothing like prints.
looks wonderful. where did you get your album book from?
Thanks Vanessa! I love seeing prints.
Megan, the book is from my film days in school… I think I got it at an art store in Cleveland somewhere… It cost me all of 20 dollars at time. Now it’s been recycled for my new portfolio. I think you can get get them online, and most likely better quality… but this works for now. And I couldn’t beat free.
Wow, it looks so beautiful. Makes me want to 1) see yours in person and 2) make my own.
I want to see the prints this weekend!
looks wonderful – from screen to print …
so good to have the “final” print finished and in the book, yeah?
