Avoid these 5 critical portfolio mistakes

Hi {NAME}, Are you creating a portfolio (or already have one) in order to get photography clients? We’ve seen thousands of portfolios here at SlickPic. There are those who look like they were created by a photographer who understands what makes an effective portfolio… But many others that are clearly not doing a good service to the photographer behind them. Here are the five mistakes you should avoid, and how to correct them (taken from the upcoming [free online class]( we’re holding with Photography Concentrate) - 1. Keep a good separation between categories - if you’re doing portraits, weddings and newborn photography, each category should have it’s own page! 2. All categories should be easily accessible from the main page and clearly marked on the menu. Your visitors should NOT work hard to find a category, or find the photos for the category that they’re interested in 3. Don’t attempt to seem like you’re bigger than you are. It will scare off the smaller clients, while the bigger ones will already know if you are really big or not 4. Make it as easy as possible to contact you. Potential clients should not need to jump through any hoops for that. A contact form is a bad idea. Just give your phone number and email! If you’re worried about privacy you can purchase a low-cost virtual number such as a Skype number, and open up a dedicated email inbox for clients, if you don’t already have one. 5. Keep the number of photos small enough so potential clients are not overwhelmed with an endless photo scroll. Choose your absolute best images, and leave them wanting to see more (or impressed enough to want you). There’s only so much we could help you out with your portfolio over email, so if you want to be sure your portfolio acts like a true client magnet, [click here to check out this free training class](.
