Default Portfolio help!
Hi everyone,
I have a few questions over how to create a portfolio actuallly i'm not sure how to create one...that i can take with me. I have a freind who will be hosting an art show at her home. One thing she suggested i do is have a portfolio ready next to my art. I have been photographing...nature/animals for a couple of years already. It is something i have always had an interest in and started to do it only as a hobby until i actually had people asking to buy photos.

If anyone can give me any advice on how to display/create a portfolio or any other advice that could be helpful at an art show i would greatly aprreciate it.

Thank you

I use a regular black 3 ring binder and those plastic sheet protectors. I keep the samples down to no more than 20 (10 pages back to back). All the prints are 8"x10" matte finish. You can buy regular portfolio thingies that have the flap and string latch but I like to be able to change out the photos to fit the occasion that I am taking them to. Hope that helps.
