Tear Sheets and Printed Photo Books

When you design your portfolio, you include your best photographic work and - assuming that you’ve been published - tear sheets of advertisements and cover shots that have included your best work. The basic gist is that you want to be sure that you’re showing what you’re capable of and what others have seen in your work.

Though tear sheets are a traditional inclusion for your portfolio, there is a way that you can include them in your portfolio without much effort: include digital scans of your tear sheets along with your best photos in a printed photo book.

Printed photo books not only enable you to enhance your portfolio by using some smaller prints, some shots included on angles and a more professional appearance, but they also enable you to show shots from a session along with the tear sheet image - side by side.

In other words, rather than keeping a traditional portfolio with tear sheets at the back, you’ll be able to use a professional quality photo book to share your creativity and your vision for all that you can accomplish.
