Camera Basics Aperture
How do I put together a photography portfolio?
There’s an internship I want to apply for that’s related to photography, which has been a major hobby of mine for the past 6 years or so. I probably don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting it, but I have less of a chance if I don’t even try, right? 
What I’d really like to know, since I’ve never been taught by anyone in photography, or even had a close relationship with anyone with more knowledge of it than me, is the basics of what an organization expects when they ask for a portfolio. Do people do all digital these days? Or do I mail them something like a binder of prints? Should they have any text? Titles? Explanations? Stuff like what kind of camera I used? Aperture and shutter speed? Date taken?
I don’t even know where to start with this, but I’m guessing someone out there has been there, done that…
go to an arts and crafts store and get a portfolio book. Then choose some images that are important to your target client so for example, if you plan on interning with a wedding photography studio then include wedding shots or portraits … they won’t be all that interested in macro shots of bugs.
Try to give a good range of shots and avoid having too many shots that are similar.
Get those printer at 8X10 or 8.5 X 11 (depends on the book you got) and voila.
When choosing your images and placing them in your book, try to have a logical progression in the order that the images are presented.
