Trying To Create A Portfolio ...

... for presentation. You can help.

I'm currently showing in a juried exhibition at Sohn Fine Art Galleries in Stockbridge, Mass. I have some other opportunities at hand to show in public exhibitions and I'm trying to put together a portfolio of prints to carry around to local galleries and other potential venues. I just posted the following notice on my personal facebook page, and I thought I'd post it here, too.

Want to help me put together a semi-professional photography portfolio? Here's what you can do when you have some idle time:

Look at images on my various websites and tell me which, if any, YOU think you would hang on your wall. I'm grouping in the following categories:

1. Nature and Landscapes
2. People and Life Scenes (including streetscapes)
3. Architectural - Interior
4. Architectural - Exterior
5. Abstract/Special Effects (including nature abstracts, HDR and textures)

Here's where to look:

My Zenfolio site was created as a portfolio site, and hasn't been updated in a while:

This is my commercial retail site, and has everything available (400+ images). It contains a "Galleries" option that you may want to use. Just click on the Galleries tab.
http://geoffrey-coelho.artistwebsites.com/

This is the easiest site to browse. Good image quality and very current.

I'm asking for a commitment of your time, I know, and I will appreciate any time you can offer.

Thanks.

Geoffrey,

Just viewed your works through the Flickr account, and you have some really nice work there. The Overflow Marina and Blue Farmhouse were two of my favorites. Will go back later when I have more time to view closer.

Thank you, Greg. I have gotten some favorable feedback on the Marina photo, which surprises me. People seem to like it for some reason. I thought it was so-so. You just never know ...

I believe that with the categories you've defined, your work almost sorts itself - that is, you have good pics in each category. As an aside, I enjoy the HDR(-like) images. On the other hand, a photographer friend has grimaced at my excursions into similar processing. Like you say, you never know...

Yeah, you never know and what I think is good isn't what is popular, necessarily, here or in other venues. That's why I'm looking for some outside input. I need to distill a couple hundred images into a 12 image portfolio. It's driving me nuts.

As for HDR ... well, I won't even go there. Let's leave that for another day.
