    I am always interesting in seeing how people create their portfolios!  As a photographer over the years, I have accumulated quite a few  I have one in a traditional binder, I have one that has laminated images in a black box, and I have a portfolio in CD form of course and online (website is being revamped at the moment).  

    How do other photographers and models present your work?  I have realised from lugging my folio around that having something light and easy to carry is important.  At the same time I always carry at least A3 size images for impact. I always use black cases and use a white border for photos.  But recently I have been swayed to try a photo book - they are easy to print and are literally just like carrying about books!  they cost around £20 but the downside is that images can't be changed.

    How does everyone else present their work?

    I like the photobooks, I'm in the process of putting one together but all the websites that do them don't upload my pictures, I'm not sure why it just seems to get stuck. Where do you get yours from?

    I don't have a website as I am still relatively amateur. I started making a little one http://jettica.roxer.com but it seems to be more hassle than it is worth to be honest.

    I get my photobooks from the Apple website but Photobox do quite good ones too and they are always on offer too which is great.  Are you images very big?  If they are too big or a very odd format (which I doubt) then the website won't accept them.

    Having a website is a great idea in the future! Keep at it!
