How I Created My Photography Portfolio In 2013

In 2013 I started to take my photography much more seriously. I compiled my first photography portfolio which I submitted to the BIPP, the British Institute of Professional Photography. I was working as a professional photographer but wanted professional qualifications to give me credibility as a photographer.

So I assembled 36 photos which constituted my best work up to that point and submitted the images to the BIPP.

All I will say in this post is that these were not the 36 photos that went into my formal submission. No, more on that in another post - for now here are those 36 photos published for the first time by me. More on this in another post.
