A New Portfolio Method
August 1, 2006 | Leave a Comment
How many times have I met a potential client and done the usual; trade business cards and then follow-up when I get a chance; directing them to my website or even FedEx’ing them my expensive leather bound portfolio. I’ve always wished there was a way I could show them something right then and there, not only to gauge their interest level but also get them excited about my work. My latest portfolio technique comes close to accomplishing this. I’ve been a devoted Treo user for a number of years now, but it wasn’t until I got a 1-gig Lexar SD card that I realized the portfolio possibilities. Beyond just throwing a bunch of images on there I put behind the scenes videos of my more extreme shoots. It’s been a total hit and when I follow up with a potential client they always remember me as the guy with the cell phone video of himself dangling from a helicopter over the Alps. Oh yeah, and with some extra 1 and 2-gig SD cards I loaded up a bunch of music on them and voila, I have an mp3 player as well.
