New Website, New Portfolios

Early on in every photographer’s career, one of the biggest issues is that you lack material for your portfolio. Had you told me three years ago that I would spend hundreds of hours over the course of months reviewing, sorting, and editing through thousands of pictures spanning dozens of productions to create the strongest possible portfolio consisting of merely a couple dozen pictures, I would have asked you for a time machine.

But now, I’ve done just that: edited a portfolio (a few of them, actually) and built a completely new website around it. My hope was to showcase my best work, adjusting tones and colors to my ever evolving taste from scratch, and to present it in a clean environment that doesn’t distract from the pictures. Thus, I introduce to you my new website, a few months in the making:

I’ve gone with a new website provider, PhotoShelter. In terms of pure value, they’re the ones to beat if you’re looking for a provider that will showcase your photography. Customization options abound, and their themes are very crisp and clean (coincidentally, the theme I chose for my website happened to be called “Crisp”).
