Portfolio Additions

[orikes]

Now that I'm unemployed again, I need to update my portfolio. The majority of the work I did at this last job was fairly standard retouching (blemish here, pimple there), and the 'art' in those images really belongs to the photographer rather than me. Still, we did offer a product called a Personality Print. These were essentially collages put together from several different images from the customer. Now the hard part is deciding which one(s) to actually include.



I've included all the prints I worked on, so some are stronger than others. Still, I want honest opinions on which ones you think are strongest and worthy enough of going into my portfolio. Let me know one or two that you really like. Please?

Well, don't include the ones you don't like. I learned this lesson the hard way when, as an undegrad, I submitted about two dozen poems to the campus creative writing magazine and they printed every single one, even the ones that sucked.

Still, if you are submitting electronically, including thumbnails and so on is a good idea. Alternately, it is easy to make a simple web page to showcase additional work, and leave a pointer to that page on your resume.

But to answer your question more simply, I like Carolyn's (where I think the colors are particularly smooth) and Dan's (which seems better to me than the equally large but more visually repetitive Andrew). I kind of like Greece and Zack's as well. All of the images are very handsome, so it's really just a question of picking the top half. Those are my picks.
