Title: Portfolio Themes maximum? ordering ?
Post by: saschadueser on July 29, 2015, 04:15
What you think how many themes should a portfolio haves as maximum?
maybe "themes" is the wrong word.. i mean "genre" or a similar word.
u know : nature,architecture,portrait,etc.
(im bad in english and dont know the right words for my question yet, hope you understand this one anyway xD)

Should i go for many themes? or better less or just one.
ive got many differences in my port, if you checked you can see.

does it make a change if i would reduce my port to 1,2 or 3 genres?
maybe to nature,isolated object and landscape as an example ?
or is it better to have much themes in it.

aaaand : is it possible to order the images like on shutterstock with the catalog manager?
i just think that this is really helpful and could the port look more organisated.

okay, i dont know if its understandable what i wrote here.. im happy about every answer from you guys  :)

Virtually nobody is going to look at your portfolio as a whole.  So, shoot whatever themes you feel you can do in a way that individual images stand out in a search.

aand, what you think about topicality?
- deleting old images, that got no views,no sales, no nothing they are already in over 1,5 years`?

got it any benefit when i delete old images that is nobody interesting for ?

I would leave them where they are, maybe when the search engine changes, they can suddenly wake up. Unless the quality is so bad, that looking at them hurts you. It can happen when you learn and improve your skills.

Good luck.
