Here's how you can impress employers with your photography skills.

I have simplified the work I do by creating 3 separate buckets; headshots, events, and branding. I then add relevant photos to each of those so when someone looks up my services online, they're easier to find.

To impress employers with your photography skills, curate a professional portfolio showcasing a diverse range of your best work, highlighting different styles and techniques. Ensure the portfolio is easily accessible online via a personal website or platforms like Behance. Demonstrate your technical proficiency, creativity, and ability to meet client needs through detailed project descriptions. Additionally, engage in social media by sharing your work consistently, participating in photography communities, and obtaining testimonials from satisfied clients to build credibility and visibility.

Building a cohesive portfolio which communicates your interests, the style and genre of your photography is essential when approaching potential clients or employers. Hone and refine to your 20 - 30 best images.

The two sources I have used repeatedly to help me showcase my work is a stellar printer/framer in Edinboro, the home of Edinboro University, known primarily for its Art Department. It’s called “Parker’s Gallery” and is owned by Fred Parker & Family. The second source is Northwestern Pennsylvania Artist Association, I became a member in 2010 while teaching at EUP. I have enjoyed meeting colleagues through both.

To build an impressive portfolio, it is essential to shoot frequently. In the beginning, experiment with various styles and subjects to discover your unique approach to photography. Specializing in a particular area is crucial; clients prefer photographers with expertise rather than those who dabble in everything. Focus on what genuinely interests you and hone your skills in that niche. Persistence is key. Developing a strong portfolio takes time, often years. However, this doesn't mean you can't find work in the meantime. Consistently working on your portfolio will attract clients who appreciate your specific talents and increase the value of your work.

Most clients or employers won't care about ISO, aperture etc. They will care about seeing your vision and your work through a carefully crafted portfolio which will naturally demonstrate your technical know how.

I don't believe there is a simple answer. I would suggest you need to build a portfolio of carefully selected images. The selection process begins with what you want to do, then, is there a sufficient client base to provide a sustainable income? And finally what is going to impress that client base? Through social media, website and direct mail put your samples in front of that target market. Be consistent and regular and encourage client feedback

Be brave, and experiment. Some ideas will work, some will not but only by stepping out of the box will you tread new paths. Pause and think of what makes similar shots so similar and add a twist.

One thing I’ve found invaluable is listening to feedback and incorporating it on-site. Being open to different approaches, especially ones you hadn't considered, can lead to remarkable results and new creative horizons. These learnings are always beneficial for future photoshoots. I’ve always been open to feedback and willing to experiment with my style when the shoot demands it. This flexibility allows for continuous improvement and adaptation, ensuring each session is better than the last.

Instagram is a great place to be inspired. Follow the established but also the unknown photographers. Look at other subject matter, not just the subjects you normally photograph.

Challenge yourself to learn something on every shoot. Study the techniques of photographers you admire and reverse engineer the images that speak to you most. Consume tutorials on lighting, software, etc on YouTube and try things for yourself. It's always a good idea to experiment on test shoots rather than on live briefs with a client. You should contantly feel like you are learning even if only in small ways, when you aren't you have probably come to a standstill or become stale.

Not everyone likes everything all of the time and that's fine. Learn to live with that fact. Do except and value constructive feedback from those whose opinion you value, that's development. Don't listen to unsolicited criticism from those not in a position to give it, that's damaging. In certain parts of the industry client testimonials are useful, include on your site or socials if you are specialising in a sector and client base where it's beneficial.

Embrace feedback, even the negative. Never take it to heart, they are only opinions, but if constructive, take the points on board and try and implement them if reasonable.

Consider entering photography contests & awards so you can include award-winning images and certificates in your portfolio. You can also consider getting certificates at Universities. Even though photography does not require having a degree, it would be a great asset to have a certification from an university in a short course or bootcamp.
