Interior Photography in Wagholi, Pune

A portfolio is judged on its weakest

A portfolio is read at the level of its weakest image rather than its strongest.

Which makes the editing decision more consequential than almost anything about the shoot itself.

Three or four strong images of a project establish it. Twelve, of which five are adequate, establishes less.

That runs against the instinct to include everything that was photographed, particularly on a first project where there is a temptation to show volume.

So the selection is deliberately tight, and where you want the fuller set as well, say so and both are provided.

What you receive is the chosen frame for each view rather than every version of it, because interiors are shot in several attempts and only one of each is worth having.

The timeline depends on the size of the project and is confirmed with you in writing when you book.

It is worth agreeing whether the set is delivered by room or by strength.

By room means every space is represented, which suits a client record. By strength means the best frames regardless of coverage, which suits a portfolio.

Those are different selections from the same visit and both are straightforward when it is known which is wanted.

It is also worth confirming who selects the portfolio images if a designer and a client are both involved.

They will choose differently, and both selections are defensible.

Deciding that before delivery rather than during it is the whole of the fix.
