old pics in portfolio?
i am trying to figure out if its okay to use old pics in my portfolio...if my look is still pretty much the same(except for lighter hair), but the pics are 3 years old .... well, how old is too old? no, they are not in my portfolio now... i would like to know what others think about this. at what point should a photo be retired?

Mar 10 06 03:39 pm Link I think that as long as it shows variety ,looks current and is a strong image you can use things no matter what the date, as long as if your the model and you havent changed your self too much..I have images that are a couple of years old but because I am a make-up artist I dont have to worry so much about "me changeing" rather to show off what I can do.  .

If your look hasn't drifted, and if the style is still something that interests you, I say old images are fine. Mar 10 06 05:42 pm Link There are different POVs... my 2 cents: model and model in the portfolio should look alike... so if your hair is shorter or longer, a different color, weight has changed or body fat has changed, you've had a nose job, etc. then take those out and put photos in that look like you 3 years is a long time (esp. for a girl going from say 12 to 15) but you're 30 so maybe you still look the same Mar 10 06 05:48 pm Link i appreciate everyones input. thanks! Mar 11 06 01:39 pm Link I have older pix in my portfolio as I haven't really done any work in the last three years or so. I became very focused on getting my band as strong as it could be and so I didn't take the time to do any outside activities. Now that the band is doing fairly well, I wanted to get back into it. But if I were to only have recent shots all of my pictures would be onstage or candid shots, as all the official modelling I did was years ago. So, I included both. Mar 11 06 02:02 pm Link |
