At master classes I am sometimes asked how many photos should a photographer have in his portfolio? It's simple. It is believed that a photographer's portfolio should contain 20-30 of his best works.
This is the optimal number to represent the level of this photographer, his style and the consistent quality of his works. People cannot digest more. And less does not give an idea of the photographer.
As an obedient person, I also followed my own advice and deleted 30 outdated photos from my "small" portfolio of 100 photos and left 65 photos. :)
What 20-30? - No, I have not heard!
Seriously, I left only those photos that best suit my current taste. I think that the works left in the portfolio will best represent me as a photographer and a retoucher.
I looked at those 35 photos that I deleted and was convinced of the correctness of my decision. They have become irrelevant, well, not relevant at all. Still, a portfolio needs to be cleaned periodically.
So, the list of victims forever leaving the friendly universe of Stelmakh.com. With honors and celebrations
