I only do photography as a hobby with occasional paid work and have been questioning myself on whether I should even have a website but this helped a lot. I think I may actually do it soon to start building a brand.

You simply produce and create amazing art and it’s inspirational. Thank you for all that you do and the content you provide. I hope all is well and much love.

@franciscomsosa 3 года назад

Absolutely love your portfolio Sam, has to be one of my favorite ones I've run into so far. I'm 3 months into photography and really loving it. Probably a bit early to start a portfolio but this is was a great video . Thanks for sharing!

@julialincoln-stefan1066 10 месяцев назад

I appreciate your calm non-sensationally way to put this. I'm diving into new endeavours and creative challenges and you just helped me to distill my thoughts to the essentials again.

Great tips, I will keep that in mind as I rebuild my portfolio.

@FlavioDeFeo 4 года назад

Wow, I really enjoyed this (much more than I expected). Watched it from my phone, while taking a dump (like most of us here 😂) and I didn’t want to leave the bathroom until the end! Well done!

@amazinglyelizabeth3669 3 года назад

Thank you so much! I'm creating a photography portfolio for a job and you helped me understand what I should do. Your photos are amazing!!! P.S When I saw your name I just smiled b/c that's my little brother's name. It's such a beautiful name!

@ethansees4154 4 года назад

This is such a helpful video! And the work is incredible as always. I'd love to see a video critiquing other's websites, like you were saying about having outside opinions. I think it would help give an even better idea of what's helpful and what's not if you were to look through what subscribers send in and give your thoughts.

@AJZolezzi 2 года назад

Hello Samuel, congratulations for this video! I was looking for something like this lately so I could sort myself out with my photos. I am a photographer in progress and I still do not define a photographic style very well (something difficult because a few years have passed). My interest in photography was for landscapes, travel and surfing but we know that there is money in portrait and couples photography. I was very confused if I had to create different instagram accounts for each type of photos, it was crazy! Now seeing your portfolio, I understand that it is necessary to have your own style. I just added the subscribe button, keep it up!

@ryanquaresma9006 4 года назад

Love the video Sam, thanks. Question though: What do you do with the thousands of photos you've taken, if not hundreds of thousands of photos? How often do you go through your archives and think, man these were some awesome shots even though they aren't current or usable for my current portfolio?

@melevonne 4 года назад

Great video. I love your content and portfolio. I'd love to create a lifestyle and branding portfolio, but I have no idea as to how to get people to model. I've attended some great photo meetups, but most of my work is just nature.

@jamilgotcher5456 2 года назад

Mel, lifestyle work uses people that are not necessarily professional models. Start with asking friends or family to pose for lifestyle photos. There are so many freelance/instagram models that would love to collab with you I'm sure. Just make posts or story post on Instagram asking if anyone wants to collab with you because you are building your lifestyle portfolio.

I've seen some other artists say that you should stick to a theme/story when creating a portfolio. What do you think of that because I see that you have a completely different approach - post only your 'masterpieces'?

What you need is a flyer. If you actually want to get someone to see your shit, go up to them and give them a booklet of some of your best work, and why you think they should hire you.
