Define a photographic focus — a subject, style, or project brief — and produce 30 edited images that belong together as a body of work. A photography portfolio without a focus is a gallery of unrelated images; a focused portfolio demonstrates that the photographer can sustain a creative vision across multiple shoots. The 30-image threshold is the minimum to establish a cohesive body of work: it forces the photographer to make selections, not just accumulate images. The edits must be intentional — not filter-applied or auto-corrected, but images where post-processing decisions (exposure, contrast, crop, colour grade) were made deliberately.
Proof required
Share a link to 30 edited images in a coherent body of work — a Behance project, a Google Photos album, an Unsplash portfolio, or a personal website. State the photographic focus in one sentence. Write one sentence on the consistent editing approach across the 30 images.
