Behance portfolio

I'm now on Behance! My gallery can be found here http://be.net/Elina_Manninen, you can have a look at my work there :).

Portfolio

Portfolio...a physical portfolio... I never knew how big of a task it would be to put one together. It's so much more than just quickly selecting a number of your photos that you sort of like. It's also defining yourself as a photographer - what you are, how you see yourself. If you had 30 chances by individual photos to show what you are like as a photographer so that the other side would also get the same idea, which ones would you choose? People who know me also know how much I've worked with this. Also because I choose something and after a few days I feel like I should have picked something else. And photos that I like aren't necessarily the ones I should have in my portfolio.

I have had so much valuable help from Pedro Reis, my friend, designer and a kind of mentor who's trying to get things through my sometimes thick head. So thank you for everything! I'm also thanking Merja Yeung who helped me with this a lot. And all my clients and projects that I've been involved doing my work have been amazing.

Now that I have made my final picks and put everything together I still need to print it :). So it is coming...

Portfolio photos

I had a chance to photograph a friend of mine for her modelling portfolio. The photos turned out beautiful and we had a fun afternoon!

If you need photos for your portfolio (children, teens and adults) don't hesitate to be in contact! I also work with a make-up artist who can be contacted if you want your photographic make-up done professionally before your shoot.
