portfolio

I want to start to keep a reasonably upto date, portfolio of prints.

What's the best way to present them?

All depends who your target audience is, a little research into this goes a long way when designing a portfolio and subsequently showing it.

TBH it's more of a general portfolio. No specific audience in mind, just want to know a better way of presenting them than 8x10s on a4 white card. I want to start keeping a collection of prints of the photos that I'm really pleased with.

1 good way is to print say 8x10 etc on A3 (dont mount on card) and keep them in the archive clear sleeve you can get from specialist shops and then keep those in a print archive box, this enables you to select just the photos you would like to show, and the box gives a nice presentation to your images.

It gives a very versatile system and keeps the prints in good condition.

Something like those

I like the idea of that.

I have the above, they are excellent. the drop spine means it's really easy for people to flick throu without having to handle the prints (in sleeves) too much

I mount my images on backing boards and frames then place them into sealed bags.
Buy everything from here....really competitive prices.

i guess using mounts is dependant on what sort of photography it is, lots to think about
