How To Build A LandScape Portfolio



We’ve all read the internet sites that tell us to use certain techniques to boost our landscape photography portfolio and seascape photography skills, or to post process our photos in a special way and nearly all these suggestions are highly valid ones but once you understand the fundamentals there’s one intensely fast and simple way to boost your photography portfolio and that is to head outside and just start taking photos to begin.

Sounds too simple? Well it’s true, there is nothing like practise and lots of it to quickly boost and boost your talents. The other idea behind this idea is that the more you are out shooting the greater chance you have of capturing that ‘magic’ light that no one else has managed to capture before. We have all heard the term that practise makes perfect and whilst I’m not claiming to be perfect I’ve certainly found that the more I’m outside shooting the more I am contemplating shooting and the better I get.

When I initially began out I couldn’t understand why I was not capturing any decent landscape footage in 6 months I’d managed to capture perhaps 3 sellable photos. Finally it dawned on me after talking to some pros that I just wasn’t getting out there enough firstly to improve my talents and secondly to improve my chances at capturing a great photo.

I quickly learnt that I had to be more obsessive about there photography portfolio getting out there so I went from taking photos once each 2 - 3 weeks to living and breathing landscape photography and spending up to 10hrs a week taking footage. An superb thing occurred my photography improved out of site and my portfolio expanded very quickly to the point that I had a collection of photographs that I was extremely proud of.
