Once a photography job is complete, the photographer or an art director must go through and appraise and select the photos for Portfolio.
Some guidelines to follow:
- Keep
- A variety of images for different design placement
- Images representative of the event OR generic enough to work for several projects
- Images with enduring value as historic photographs
- Do Not Keep
- Blurry images
- Images that are nearly completely black or washed out
- Images with subjects' whose eyes are closed
- Images with unwanted image distortion
- To Be Determined
- Duplicates
- Images are duplicated for many different purposes. Headshot shoots have many similar poses, and photos are often duplicated at different qualities depending on their use (web-ready, high-resolution for editing, etc.). That being said, 5 or more duplicates of an image that have no discernible use should be considered for removal from Portfolio.
- Duplicates
After the photos are appraised, they can be sent to the Digital Asset Manager.
