Filling the Portfolio
I have a plan to fill my photo portfolio with things that I want people to pay me to shoot. Outdoorsie type stuff, running, biking, hiking, kyaking, climbing, etc… I’ve listened to Zack Arias talk about showing what you want to shoot in your portfolio and it just makes sense. I wouldn’t practice tennis if I wanted to play golf. While the technical side of things tend to cross over, the composition and knowing where the action is going to be takes practice.
The other night I asked a friend if she’d be willing to be a running model, She agreed and we headed up to Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins, CO to give it a shot. My wife (38 weeks pregnant) was my voice activated light stand. I managed to get a couple of good shots at the first angle, but when I moved I didn’t switch settings and ended up with some blurred shots. All in all it was a good start to filling the portfolio.
Blurry shot, bummer.
