I’ve worked professionally with graphics and videos for close to ten years now, longer if we count further education. Basically ever since leaving school, part of my day-to-day life has been about either moving or still imagery. I edited photos in a darkroom before I even knew what Photoshop was. I was paid to encode and upload online videos before YouTube made it easy (remember streaming RealMedia? *shudder*). I was even involved in attempts to stream videos to mobile phones before any of them were wireless or even 3G enabled.
Yet it wasn’t until the beginning of this year I realised that, as an image guy, I should have an online portfolio. Just never occurred to me. So much of my work from previous years has been lost to site rebuilds or were hidden behind subscription paywalls. It would have made sense to have one area I could upload my content, paid or personal, to represent my body of work.
Well that’s just changed. I’ve built a portfolio site.
It may only have a fraction of my work from the last ten years, but I’m very much looking forward to filling it up with the next ten years.
