This could include:
The type of photography you specialise in (portrait, street photography, landscape, black and white etc.)
Mention who tends to be in these pictures: portraits of faces, buildings or landscapes
This section on your profile encourages you to be loud and proud of your work. You need to keep your potential clients in mind and give them a reason why youโre what theyโre looking for.

This doesnโt have to refer to traditional schooling. If youโre self-taught, then donโt hesitate to mention this. Listing who youโre potentially inspired by and so forth are extra pieces of information that would also make a nice touch. - ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ณ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ผ ๐๐ฝ ๐๐ผ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ:
Update this section whenever youโve worked on a new project, to make things easier. This gives the client a catalogue of what you can do and see if your style has progressed.
When itโs time to share your pictures, on socials, donโt forget to update your Wishuโs portfolio section. It needs some love too, thereโs always someone watching.

So what can you offer your clients? This should include:
- Your rates
- What comes with these services such as the number of images the client is expected to receive for this rate if it includes location/ outfit changes possible etc. for example.
- Your turnover time
- An outline on how you like to work: so if you like to brainstorm beforehand if you want the client to have a source of reference that you might want to look at etc.

Show off your variety! Thereโs plenty of areas your craft is more likely to offer. As a photographer can include:
- Shooting,
- Editing
- Retouching
- Utilising your photoshop and lightroom skills you think might interest clients
If youโre unsure on what else you can list, think about your creative process and decide whether or not this is a service you could provide alone (you probably could).

If you have clients who have worked with you, make sure that theyโve left a review on your page. The more you have, the more credible you appear to be.
Comments which demonstrates your performance in the shoot, how you made the client feel or the quality of your works are all reviews you should be aiming for.
