Fresh off a portfolio review at a local college, I'm breaking down the biggest and most common mistakes photographers make when trying to showcase their work—and why these mistakes might be standing between you and your next client.

In this episode, I cover: • Mistake #1: Overloading your portfolio with too many images • Mistake #2: Showcasing work you don't actually want to shoot • Mistake #3: Not showing enough of the work you do want to be hired for

And then we get into the biggest mistake of all: relying solely on your portfolio as your entire marketing strategy. Because in today's world, having a great portfolio is essential—but it's not enough on its own. We'll talk about what you should be doing beyond the portfolio to get in front of the right clients, build authority, and consistently generate work.
