Photography Portfolio Editing

A Forensic Curatorial Approach

By Meredith Fleischer

Most photography portfolios fail. Not because of weak work, but because of too many photographs. Your portfolio is not your archive.

It's your signal.

My approach is informed by what I've learned from years of working with photographers, editing portfolios, building a gallery, pricing and selling work, and seeing what happens when the work enters the world.

I take a forensic look at your portfolio, examining the work, sequencing, structure, visual consistency, and overall positioning.

The goal is clarity. To see what is working, what is getting in the way, and what the portfolio is communicating as a whole.
