My first portfolio

I finally got around to ordering my first portfolio this past week so I wanted to take a couple minutes and share it with everyone. I ordered a hard-cover lay-flat press book from Black River Imaging, a local imaging lab here in Springfield, Missouri. It’s 8.5×11 and 40 pages and it cost me $110.00. Not too bad for my first portfolio. Ideally I’d like to get something fancier with interchangeable pages, but since my work is fairly specific at this point I figured I could get by with this press book for now. Once I get some jobs and more work I can work on getting a more permanent portfolio but this one should be good for now. Just got to start getting it in front of people now…

Special thanks to Josi for being my page-turner in the video and my friend Mike’s old band for providing the background music. The video was shot with my Nikon D90 and Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens and a daylight CFL for lighting. It’s not the best quality, but you get the idea. The pictures look really good in person. If you’d like to see it in person, shoot me an email at photo AT mattdewitt DOT com or give me a call at 417-379-9500.

Let me know what you think!
