Portfolio / photo records

[Tom10]

Hi all,

 

Interested to know how many of you keep a photo record of your work?

 

I havent taken any photos so far and feel i should start?

 

Do you just take photos of big / special jobs or a record of every day?

 

Feedback would be good.

 

Thanks,

 

Tom.

I have been taking pictures of my work for quite a few years now, it's come in pretty handy with the current contract I am tendering for as they are asking for pictures of previous works, it's more than easy now to keep a record and it will do you no harm.

 

Be careful about publishing your work publicly though.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't plan on posting / publishing in public. More of a personal account of work and just interested how many more companies do it. I dont know anyone that does but I think, especially with modern technology, its so easy to do and maybe in 10 years time when you forget the years let alone days it would be nice looking back.

Yeh,before and afters of reductions or big jobs but not everyday crap.Dont send it to prospective employers tho because it will mean bugger all to them.(maybe reductions tho)

Not for the purpose of applying for jobs - just personal records.

 

I agree with you, I think big / interesting jobs will be photographed from now on

I have no decent photos of my work or me working, I really, really regret it...

Always and Facebook is an easy place to store them either under yourself or under a business, its much easier than the old days when i actually had to take a photo album around.
