Creating a digital photographer’s portfolio is as simple as one, two, three—gather your best photographs, make sure to provide context to your photo sets with captions, and find a web builder that’ll make the actual site-building process a piece of cake.

If you’re a young photographer with little photographic experience, you may not have enough photos for your portfolios. In that case, you can hit up friends and family, workshops, and photo walks to expand your collection.

Professional photographers can choose from an array of genres or types of photography. If you’re into portraiture and shooting real people, you can choose to work in the wedding category. If you’re into high concept, glamor shoots, you can become a photographer for fashion magazines. If you’d rather take photographs of real people and current events, you can become a photojournalist. And if you love food, you can take up food photography!

These are just a few of the many photographic categories an artist can choose to specialize in.

Not large at all! Bigger isn’t always better when it comes to photographers’ portfolios. You must narrow down your long list of photographs to above 10 to 20 pieces that really represent your brand as a photographer. And remember to make your photo folio diverse too—choose photos differing in size, angle (wide, closeup, high, low), and mood.
