Photography
Photography portfolios can focus on a single subject. It can be a collection of photographs that were taken with a certain type of camera, in one geographic area, of one person or a group of people, only black & white or sepia photos, a special event etc.
Many Photographers use portfolios to show their best work when looking for jobs in the photography industry. For example:
- Wedding photographers may put together a book of their best wedding photos to show engaged couples that are looking for a wedding photographer.
- Photojournalists can take a collection of their best freelance work when looking for a job.

Famous quotes containing the word photography:
“If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
—Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)
