vfilby Senior Member  728 posts Joined May 2004 Location: Guelph, ON More info | Oct 21, 2004 09:30 | #1 Ever since I started freelancing I have a number of shots that I would add to my portfolio. I have seen portfolio's online that are just basically a gallery and I am fine with that unless anyone here has better suggestions. So the real question is how do you layout/present a portfolio in print. By print I don't mean in a magazine, just not online. Glass and plastic

While I'm probably a few years away from even trying to freelance, I'm curious as to how photographs would be laid out in a portfolio. My old roommate is a graphic designer and he has this rather large leather/vinyl portfolio that measures like four feet by three feet. Granted, he has more in there than just photos, but would a good print photo portfolio be the same size? Or would it be something smaller? FlipsidE

I print my images to 8.5x11 borderless. The folder and the pages are black to contrast with photos. Nothing special. The cover can be folded to stand alone on a table for people to flip through if you wish. Works for my needs. Cloverdale Photography

Oct 21, 2004 20:16 | #5 Oh I also have the print copies from newspapers, magazines, newsletters, etc that I keep. Would these go in the portfolio too? Maybe to match the real photo and show credibility. Glass and plastic

Here is the exact folder I am using.
