Default Portfolio Book

I finally decided that I had enough images over the past year and a half to create a portfolio book so I made a little post on it.

What do you think? It's great to finally have built together a portfolio which I'm proud of but can improve upon and grow from as well. There's so much more I want to do in the following year.

Fill The Key: Designing A Portfolio Book

I've been photographing since around August 2010, and before now, I didn't feel like I had a very definitive portfolio of work. I've been focusing a lot on the band lately and haven't done too much in the way of photo shoots, but felt like my website's online portfolio was ready to be translated to print.

I somehow found Blurb. The book designer is straight forward and fairly customisable, but if I was to get a "definitive" book printed, I'd find a higher quality printer. The photos look a little "jittery" even though I supplied high resolution images.

P.S. Thanks everyone

Really nicely done. The photos look great in your pictures of it. You've put together a really nice and cohesive piece of work.

I like what you have done with the blank pages. Nice work, very professional looking (your work and the book).

Great work!

I have been throwing it around to start something like that. I am not interested (at least anytime soon..) in making a career out of photography. I would like to have a nice book like that (themed) to use as a tabletop book for the living room or to give to family.

I was thinking of doing my theme around Southern images since I enjoy taking those and there are a ton of interesting southern things around here
