The importance of developing a cohesive portfolio cannot be understated for landscape photography. It is quite possible one of the most challenging things we face in order to showcase our work and to develop as artists. It can lead to better presentation of our work and a more well-rounded collection of images. Additionally, it is the corner-stone for the development of any print or book project.
Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, William Neill, is a legend in the landscape photography world.
