Editing a killer portfolio that lands

The creative portfolio. Your book. Your shortcut to show clients how brilliant and unique you are; to demonstrate your eye, your style and creative thinking. Arguably one of the most important marketing assets you will create, and yet so hard to hone on your own. 

In this 30 minute session, photography consultant and editor, Lu Bowan, will share her tips on how to approach this monumental task to create a portfolio that not only flows but, crucially, converts into commissions. 

Lu will be interviewed by Emma Alexander, a commercial photography expert and founder of Wisern.
