Wow thank you! Comments like this make me smile so big and feel so appreciated. Thank you! 🙏🏻 looking forward to sharing more helpful videos this month too. Thanks for watching enjoy your weekend.
Great video! And timely as I was doing some portfolio work when I saw it. I’ve printed my “good” photos on 8x10 with a left side margin that allows me to hole punch them. These go in the portfolio which is a 3 ring binder. Right now I’ve got 4 categories (birds, animals, landscape, people). The intent so far is to show friends, but I would make smaller sub-portfolios if I was using it professionally. Each of those categories also has a landscape and portrait orientation division… constantly turning photos is very distracting. Anyway, at the front of the binder are “best of” divisions for each category. Only FIVE photos for each category. When I show someone the portfolio this gives us an off-ramp (“just look at the first 20”) so only the most enthusiastic will look through the whole thing. Picking your top five photos is a very good exercise. I ask people who look deeper if they would promote any photo to the top 5 (and which they would remove to do it). It’s interesting to see what people connect with.
Wow this is such a cool way to do it and love that you have something tangible to show people. Maybe you should make a RUclips video on this topic haha! Thanks for watching and sharing your great insights and experience with us all. Enjoy your weekend
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve struggled to put together a portfolio for years. I’m terrible at selling myself. This really helps put it into actionable steps. I needed this!
Yes it’s my least favourite part trying to keep on top of all of that but it makes the rest of the curation easier if it’s organised. Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend
Awesome breakdown of portfolio creation and curation...so many incredible tips and strategies. Absolutely loving the production of your vids. The synth sounds, classic retro 90's vibes, it all makes me feel like I'm watching an awesome TV show from my younger years. Amazing work team Lumen!
At 0:14 this video switches from English to AI dubbed German. Changing languages doesn't work. I'm not in Germany and everything in my phone is in English. Wtf RUclips.

The image of the red chili thru the fence is an absolute banger.
Ohhh thank you! It’s sold a few times on my print shop and look really great close up when printed! 🌶️

Thank you so much! I’m so glad to hear this video was helpful. Let me know how you go with your portfolio this year too!
Managing my files is the number 1 thing thats killing me. It can feel so overwhelming.
Great video, thanks!

Thank you Shane! Your support and kind words are so appreciated and it makes lux and I feel all warm and fuzzy! Thank you ☺️
😍👍
OMG !! My hoard of pictures go back to the mid-sixties. My f-150 would struggle to carry all of it. There is no hope. I'm doomed!!🤪

It seems like RUclips is really glitching out this morning I haven’t been able to get in and check comments or anything till now.
