Portfolio Review:

Are you creating a portfolio for potential clients or a professional organization? Allow me an opportunity to do a full Portfolio Review- complete with tips and tricks for creating an appealing collection of images. Once you have 150-160 images, I will analyze and critique your collection image by image. Once you review my critique, we will spend some time chatting about specific changes to improve your portfolio quality and flow. I will help you narrow down, create a flow, organize, re-edit, and replace as necessary. A Portfolio review includes 1 initial review with my notes, a 1-hour Q&A where you can get specific feedback on images, and 1 final review with my notes.
