I’m sure that I’m not unique in the struggle to really define what might constitute my portfolio of photography. Over the years, I have captured tons and tons of images, the subject of which has varied tremendously; it ranges from lots of dog sport images from agility competitions, portraiture and human events, food photography, abstract images and lots of nature images.
As I’m starting to renew my effort to define what my portfolio might be, I’m taking a stab at my nature images first. These have great variation in them as well, as I tend to love landscapes, but also have a mix of animal images, some of which I still enjoy reviewing.
The image above is one of these. This headshot provides a sense of gravitas to this lovely puffin, as he appears to be considering the next discussion to have with one of his closest friends, many of whom are nearby.
There are still some technical issues with this image, as the pose and sunlight didn’t line up perfectly in the way I would have preferred (these puffins didn’t pay much attention to my requests); so I still see some future editing to improve the overall look, but in the mean time, I still like this little fella.
I’m curious what struggles other photographers have in defining their profile and how they tend to tackle these demons.
