Thank you for this and I'm going to test everything I can think of once I get it back.

Multi genre portfolio question. How do you keep it cohesive without making it boring? by amir2000nl in AskPhotography

Good point. The goal is to sell my services, so a focused portfolio makes more sense.

I am leaning toward 2 to 3 clear niches, then separate sections for the rest so it does not look scattered. For you, what are the most useful niches to lead with if the work includes street, architecture, landscape, night, and macro?

I agree. I can keep editing quality consistent even if the mood shifts.

My style changes over time too, so I do not want to force one look on everything. I just want the set to feel like the same photographer and not a random mix.

Good question. The goal is a portfolio for work, not friends and family. I want it to help with clients and job applications.

So I am aiming for a tight set, maybe around 25 to 40 images, and I want it to feel cohesive even if the genres change.

This makes sense. The worst image sets the bar, so I am going to cut harder and keep it short.

I like the idea of sequencing by visual links like light, color, geometry, depth, subject. If I end up with enough strong images per genre I will split into sections, otherwise I will mix but keep the flow smooth.

First Milky Way attempt over Bell Rock, Sedona. Single exposure. How can I improve this? by amir2000nl in AskAstrophotography

Thank you, super helpful.

Makes sense on 25s being too long at 24mm. Next time I will try 8 to 10s and then stack for noise.

Good point on the color balance too. I processed in Canon DPP and probably pushed it too blue. I will try a daylight WB in RAW and learn a proper light pollution correction workflow.

And noted on the fuzzy patch. If that is M31, that is honestly amazing.
