Plan a three-photo portfolio
Pick one type of work and plan three original photos with a consistent look. For example, a footwear sample could include a full product view, a detail photo, and a different angle that shows the shape.
- What kind of work will this series show, and who is it for?
- What background, lighting, and camera position will you use?
- Photo 1. What will introduce the series?
- Photo 2. Which detail will you show?
- Photo 3. What will a different angle help the viewer see?
Review the three photos together. Check the focus and color, then keep the images that represent the work you’re comfortable offering.
Review a photo before posting
Run this check on the exported file and the text that will accompany it. Make any necessary changes and review the new export before posting.
- Check the edges, background, and reflections for mail, screens, street signs, or other identifying details.
- Review the filename and file details. Remove location metadata from the copy you plan to post.
- Read the caption and alt text for personal details you intended to keep private.
- Confirm you own or have permission to share the photo and everything in it.
- Check the destination’s current posting rules and audience settings.
- Which photo or batch did you review?
- What needs to change before posting?
- Decision. Post, revise and review again, or hold?
