Portfolio Book

I have quite a few nice prints from my college course, that I now want to put into a proper Portfolio. Where did you buy your Portfolio book from? As there are lots of companies out there, I wondered if you could recommend one?

Thanks in advance xx

The price ranges quite a bit to cheapy plastic ones to really nice leather ones.

If you want to keep the prints for a long time and in good condition, I would get one of the sturdier leather ones.

Places like waterstones may have them, if not stationers will

Thanks Azz, I have had a look in some stationers, and not really found one I like a lot are very plasticky and cheap looking

I want a really nice quality one, I have found some websites that do some gorgeous ones. I just wondered if any of you.had anybody you'd recommend

Snapfish (owned by HP) do a nice portfolio/coffee table book. It is hard back and the colours and paper quality is very good. They are not that expensive. You can do it all online, pick your own layout ect. It really is a professional looking thing

Thank you, is that a printed Portfolio/Photobook though?

I want a nice Portfolio Book with sleeves to put my prints into, I want it to present to other photographers, when I try and beg to be an assistant in a studio, any studiolater this year.

It is a printed book, so not updatable. Still a good thing for the money as a showcase as it does look very professional.

Jols,

I found a great selection here Portfolios Plus http://www.portfoliosplus.com/catalogues/catalogue.pdf .

They have loads of different styles and materials, even a large range of plastic sleeves, which is important the better quality they are the better your image will look. Also you can get special cd pockets, to hold cd's to give to with someone to look at.
They have quite a few that have a pocket inside for your contact details , business cards, plus you can get then embossed or printed with your name.

So now got to decide on the final itemsI want a Portrait one , so when mounted on black paper the prints have a good inch around them, and my name embossed.

I will let you know what combination I decide.

cOOL i WILL CHECK IT OUT RIGHT NOW.
