CREATIVE Photographer who wants to position their portfolio for a specific target client rather than a general audience 217 words
Summarise Your Photography Portfolio for the Kind of Client You Actually Want
A portfolio that shows everything you can do communicates nothing clearly to anyone in particular. Positioning a portfolio for a specific client means identifying which of your capabilities they actually value, closing the gap between what you have and what they want to see, and writing a summary for them, not for other photographers. This does that translation and tells you the one commission that would most efficiently close the gap.

<task>
**Summarise the portfolio's proposition** for the target client:
1. **What the portfolio actually demonstrates**: the [three] specific strengths visible in this body of work, stated as capabilities a client would value, not as technical or artistic qualities
2. **The gap**: the difference between what the portfolio currently communicates and what the target client actually cares about
3. **The clearest statement**: a [two to three sentence] portfolio summary this photographer could use on their website or in a pitch, written for the target client, not for other photographers
4. **The one commission to seek**: the type of commission that would most efficiently close the gap between current portfolio and target client appeal, and how to get it without waiting for it to be offered
