Streamline Your Style and Elevate Your Fashion Photography Portfolio
Lately, I've been diving into portfolio reviews, and let me tell you, it's been an eye-opening experience. One recurring theme that keeps popping up is the tendency to include too many similar images in portfolios.
I'll admit, I used to be guilty of the same habit. After a shoot, I'd find myself loving certain looks and locations, struggling to narrow down the selection. The result? I'd end up featuring 4-5 variations of the same look on my website and Instagram.
But here's the thing – this habit isn't doing you any favours.
When you flood your portfolio with multiple similar images, the impact of the strongest ones diminishes. They get lost in the shuffle, overshadowed by their less compelling counterparts.
Editing our own work is crucial, although sometimes challenging. We're deeply attached to our images, knowing the love and effort poured into each one. It's natural to want to showcase them all.
However, I urge you to try something different. Take a close look at your portfolio. Do you notice any nearly identical images? If so, identify the strongest one and remove the rest. Trust me, your portfolio will instantly pack a more powerful punch.
This is precisely why creating a shot list before a shoot is paramount. It prevents overshooting and wasting time on images that won't make the cut.
