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...

Maternity portraits
As you might know I have been building my new website, blog and portfolio with the help of designer Pedro Reis. The new splash page is already up at www.elinamanninen.com and everything else is on the way too. This is the first time I'm building a physical portfolio as well so it's been as much of a mental exercise as taking time to choose the photos. And I'm getting there even if sometimes the job feels huge :). The Porfolio folder is coming soon from Germany (and I'm thanking Merja Yeung from Studio Asadin for advice! ).
These were from a maternity fitness session I did the other week, we also did these beautiful portraits. All the best for the little one who is now about one week old :).
