I know this is a lot to ask on my first post on TPF and I apologize if that is the case or if I have broken any rules.
Now that's out of the way. My goal with this is to pick up a few jobs throughout the year. I am a pretty active hobbyist that, in the past, refused to take any kind of paying job for fear of growing to resent the photo making process. After some prodding, I jumped feet first into a paid wedding in April. Since then I've picked up a handful of paying jobs and realized it wasn't nearly as soul crushing as I thought it would be.
Already have a full-time job in another creative field which has given me the chance to shoot some product photography and "stock" photography (I say "stock" because if I can't find the right image on stock photography site, and circumstances allow, I will shoot something myself and use it). For the purpose of this, I am only interested in photographing people.I am putting together samples of my work to send by way of pdf as a way to pick up a job here and there. Would like your thoughts, even as harsh as they might be, on the photos, the total number of photos/pages(too many/too few), layout, post processing or anything else that might jump out at you. For this purpose I am going to post jpgs of the individual pages instead of attaching a pdf.
Thanks for taking a look.
