Hi Suzanne! That’s an awesome idea! I recommend having a dedicated page for your portfolio for sure. I’d go to Lensculture.com for a review – they’re great there!

I just ordered 30 5×5″ prints so I could move them around like a puzzle and see what they will look like together. I’m enjoying looking through what everyone has shared so far-truly beautiful collections!
Do you suggest having a separate website page that acts as a portfolio? Or some other format? I gave it a shot, just to move out of my comfort zone (thanks for that,too!) https://www.sbarberimages.com/portfolio.html
I feel like FotoFest in Houston is maybe overkill for me at this stage. Do you have any suggestions for an online paid review or something similar? It’s hard to know if a site will give a reputable critique from a google search!

If it is just me that can’t see them, forgive me.)
This information about ports has been so wonderful, I am finally building up the courage to start contacting some galleries and I have been working on my port, so thank you for all the help with these post here and on IG.
This is my fine art port, https://proflexdk.wixsite.com/gscreativearts/copy-of-fine-art .
This is the series “Sacrifice” I do not have it with the other work in my port because of the suicide scenes, I didn’t want to trigger someone just clicking around my site, it may be a bad idea to keep them separate, I don’t know. Here is the link for that series since it isn’t with the others. https://proflexdk.wixsite.com/gscreativearts/series-sacrifice

Thank you so much again. (Hug)

I am trying to get my junk together, and all this port talk has really given me the kick I needed.
This is the first I have really tried to put a portfolio together, and here is the link to it ( https://proflexdk.wixsite.com/gscreativearts/copy-of-fine-art ). I leave one series out of my port on my website and it is on its own page do to a scene of suicide, I don’t know if this is the right thing to do or not. (link to the series https://proflexdk.wixsite.com/gscreativearts/series-sacrifice )

Thank you so much again for the great post as always. ❤

You’re such an inspiration, and by chance I came upon your live today, thank you for sharing your wisdom so freely!
I’ve been working on putting together a series for my first gallery show that I started last year. It’s slowly coming together, and I’d love to have you review it. I’m still creating more content, but I’m nearly there. I have put them together on this page: https://www.therena.ca/fineart
I’m completely open to any advice and full honesty/critique because it’s my passion and the story I want to share with the world.
The series is called “Broken but Strong” – about pain, strength and hope.
I’m working on putting together the words for each image and why I created them, and hope to present it in a fine art style magazine.
Thank you again for your passion.
Warmly, Therena

Thank you, thank you! <3

I am only just starting out trying to get my work out into the wider world 🙂 So what you share here, on IG and in your course (am slowly working my way through it) is like gold nuggets!
If you have time I would be truly grateful to hear your feedback on my online portfolio: http://www.mariafynsknorup.com ❤️
Warm wishes from a tiny Danish island,
Maria
