obsessed with this channel, what ive fund watching Sam is i need to take the chance to expand my portfolio. new shoots, locations, trying a different aesthetic. love it -heyshahed
Sam, I’ve been binging your content these past few days and been subscribed for about a month and I just have to say I really love your work. You simply produce and create amazing art and it’s inspirational. Thank you for all that you do and the content you provide. I hope all is well and much love.
Yep
Absolutely love your portfolio Sam, has to be one of my favorite ones I've run into so far. I'm 3 months into photography and really loving it. Probably a bit early to start a portfolio but this is was a great video . Thanks for sharing!
I only do photography as a hobby with occasional paid work and have been questioning myself on whether I should even have a website but this helped a lot. I think I may actually do it soon to start building a brand.
Did you end up starting?
@@comfypeepo good question
now I'm curious too :)
Emma Guapo did you start your website?
How did it go?
Watching this for first time and wanted to THANK YOU! I am in the beginning stages of trying to create my side hustle in landscape nature photography. Very helpful!!
Thanks for the help Sam. Will definitely take these into consideration when creating in the future. Keep safe man☀️
Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video! You shed light on many key points and common thoughts i have that really make me spiral and not be efficient so thank you for this straight to the point self-aware prespective!
Been waiting for this video! Always admired your portfolio!
Great tips, I will keep that in mind as I rebuild my portfolio.
I appreciate your calm non-sensationally way to put this. I'm diving into new endeavours and creative challenges and you just helped me to distill my thoughts to the essentials again.
I can across this tutorial at the perfect time. I’m in the middle of creating my site and creating my style. This tips helped in every way. Thanks
Wow, I really enjoyed this (much more than I expected). Watched it from my phone, while taking a dump (like most of us here 😂) and I didn’t want to leave the bathroom until the end! Well done!
Thank you so much! I'm creating a photography portfolio for a job and you helped me understand what I should do. Your photos are amazing!!!
P.S When I saw your name I just smiled b/c that's my little brother's name. It's such a beautiful name!
This one really gave me good perspective on what to do. Thanks Sam!
Very dope vid man! Thinking about restrucurinf my portfolio myself and you dropped a lot of useful tips there!
This is such a helpful video! And the work is incredible as always.
I'd love to see a video critiquing other's websites, like you were saying about having outside opinions. I think it would help give an even better idea of what's helpful and what's not if you were to look through what subscribers send in and give your thoughts.
Hello Samuel, congratulations for this video! I was looking for something like this lately so I could sort myself out with my photos. I am a photographer in progress and I still do not define a photographic style very well (something difficult because a few years have passed).
My interest in photography was for landscapes, travel and surfing but we know that there is money in portrait and couples photography. I was very confused if I had to create different instagram accounts for each type of photos, it was crazy! Now seeing your portfolio, I understand that it is necessary to have your own style.
I just added the subscribe button, keep it up!
Thanks for the video! Great tips man. I'll be putting them to use.
Your pictures are amazing! Love your work
Thanks for knowledge! Definitely gonna take what you said to heart.
Great tips, thank you for posting this!
loved these tips. Thank you so much
Your photography is super clean. Love your edits.
Thank you Sam, I have two questions: what platform do you use for your portfolio website and how/where do you get the cars/models for your photos if you don't have clients or work to present yet?
Major heat as always Sam!
This was really helpful, thanks!
Nice presentation. Very clean and easy to follow.
thank you so much!. i was searching do portfolio in website. mostly i saw do portfolio in the book/megazine only.
I've been searching for the same topic, watching different videos, but I think this video blew my mind. it's like I have a better vision of what I want now,😜
Great no-nonsense informative content. Thank you
Haven't watched all of this yet but damn that setup looks clean. Audio is crisp as well.
Love the video Sam, thanks. Question though: What do you do with the thousands of photos you've taken, if not hundreds of thousands of photos? How often do you go through your archives and think, man these were some awesome shots even though they aren't current or usable for my current portfolio?
I really should update my portfolio. Thanks Sam!
Your presentation is engaging; awesome video and portfolio! Thanks for sharing.
i hit the like button before i even watch the video 😂 also, LOVE the new studio bro
Great Video and helps sort things out in the ol cabeza
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
Thank you Sam.
Great & helpful Video, thank you Samuel 👌🙏
This was really helpful, I got stunned trying to make my portfolio and I didn't know what to do.
Thanks, for sharing this!!
Long time no seen. Welcome back
I was collecting as much of my favorite photos as I can for my portfolio, UNTIL I heard you say, "less is more". 😆
Thanks dude!
My God, you're style is Clean my man. Subbed
beautiful portfolio!!!
Wow you inspired me, and I on and off being doing photography, I still used films, and thinking about the Fujifilm GFX100 just to have one, even if my wife disappeared, lol thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing!
I've been searching for the same topic, watching different videos, but I think this video blew my mind. it's like I have a better vision of what I want now,
Appreciate it! So glad it helped
1:24 this is why we need to be financially smart. Thank you for the video Sam. Very informative. Also, the new space looks great!
This is epic! Thanks for sharing. What Template/Name on Squarespace did you use to create your website?
Love ur work man. Just wanna clarify with u, I don’t see u using flash for shooting portrait? Do u think natural light is the way to go rather than flash ?
Hey! great video! Wanted to ask, what monitor is that?
Great tips !!!
As always :)
I have a question I love your bomber blue can I have the ref ?
How often do you use your iPhone for your pictures?
Love this. Just created a website too
How do you protect your work on square space from copyright? Awesome video btw.
Prepare my best portfolio and present to studios at all cost
Great video. I love your content and portfolio. I'd love to create a lifestyle and branding portfolio, but I have no idea as to how to get people to model. I've attended some great photo meetups, but most of my work is just nature.
Mel, lifestyle work uses people that are not necessarily professional models. Start with asking friends or family to pose for lifestyle photos. There are so many freelance/instagram models that would love to collab with you I'm sure. Just make posts or story post on Instagram asking if anyone wants to collab with you because you are building your lifestyle portfolio.
What is your opinion on watermarking/protecting the photos in your portfolio?
Does anyone know how to make a gallery like that on squarespace?
Great video Samuel BTW 💪
I’m using a EOS r, I like how simple the 12pro max is, in your opinion can you get away with no pro camera?
Dope Music
Do you compress your images before uploading to website?
What's the name of the background song on this video?
I've seen some other artists say that you should stick to a theme/story when creating a portfolio. What do you think of that because I see that you have a completely different approach - post only your 'masterpieces'?
lovee, whats the name of the template?? thanks
You are so inspiring. Thank you for everything you do!
Super helpful vid Sam! Does anyone know the name of the template he is using? Im thinking of taking the next step for my website
is it TALVA ?
he mentioned wexley, i think it is from an earlier version of squarespace
hey what song is this? i love it!
Can you share which website to go to for a portfolio like this? How much you pay for it?
This video is very informative 👆
Where's that shelving unit behind you from??
Where you from bro? LA?
where's that calendar from?
Hey bro, how did you manage to get that drop down menu on mobile? I've been looking on how to do it, or some kind of code but I can't seem to find any!
what a nice jacket ! can you give me a link or something to buy it
What web u use?? Or that’s u make ir own web??
Do you sell presets?
Beautiful voice bru
I know that that´s a very generic question, It depends in many factors, but, in general, what do you think a good amount of photographs to put into a portfolio?
how did you build this website?
what platform is the website?? Does it cost a monthly sub to maintain the website?
hi - how many photos per catergory?
Find beautys in every creatures , humen bings , keep focus on positive sides on peoples I met
Notification Gang🙏
When we sent to the squarespace portfolio to ppl who doesn't have squarespace account does it shower add pop ups like the shitty 500px
how can i get a template like yours??
Cool last name my first name is Elkin, great video Samuel.
I really NEED this lockdown BS ( I live in Melbourne, Australia ) to be over so I can do my photography passion ugh 😂
I’m really sick of the city I live in PREVENTING me from taking photos.
Great video 📸
It's not preventing you, there's tons to photograph in the city
Where I can make my own portfolio.

What you need is a flyer. If you actually want to get someone to see your shit, go up to them and give them a booklet of some of your best work, and why you think they should hire you.
