Based on an eight-week course taught by renowned photographer and author William Neill, The Photographer’s Portfolio Development Workshop provides the tools and skills you need in order to create a methodology that allows you to create a tightly edited portfolio of work, no matter your end goal: a box of prints, a book, an online presentation or website, or even a gallery exhibit.

Using this book, you will learn how to develop a portfolio with a consistent theme and consistent quality to best represent your body of work.

In developing your portfolio, you will learn what your specific passions are, find focus for your work, and begin the iterative process of creating better and better photographs over time.

No matter the photographic genre you work in, this book will teach you to objectively assess your work on both technical and aesthetic levels, establish a personal standard of quality, focus your efforts on new work, and become a better photographer.

The book features eight lessons, along with assignments at the end of each lesson to propel you and your work forward. Throughout, Neill uses his own photographs to illustrate the process he has used for years to create multiple portfolios and books.
