Portfolio Simplification and the Journey of Single Images

Portfolio Simplification and the Journey of Single Images

Sometimes, to strengthen our creative work, we must be willing to let parts of it go. This episode is a personal account of revisiting and simplifying photography portfolios. Using my "Fleeting Existence" portfolio as an example, I share how removing three images led to a more powerful and cohesive result. I also explore the ambiguous case of my unpublished "Harris" work, where the "filler" images might be essential. Ultimately, it’s a reflection on the fluid nature of art, the importance of asking the right questions, and the quiet strength found in simplification.
