I don't have a portfolio; just point and shoot 2 megapixel photos on Flickr.
When I get better with a camera, I will try to get similar shots at larger size for printing.

Yes but I find it really time consuming to update. I did the whole thing myself in Dreamweaver. What I would ideally like is a site with a back end where I can just brows and upload images and keep it updated with that. I believe this will require php coding.

shelby, php def is the way to go with that, i did mine in dreamweaver, and it sucks updating it. i am looking for a little spare time so i can read up on html and php.

don't know much about the web, so i don't even know if i'll be able to code a site, but i def am going to take a stab at it.

If you want to learn about html and such, check out this site.

I have to say that I just dont have the drive to learn it. I have done html and css and I think that was enough for me!

lol! Well, I have to do it, but I must say, I really don't blame you.

I have that backend with my site, and to tell you the truth I am still that lazy enough with updating. I really only need to run an action on a image in Photoshop that creates four images and places them into four different folders which inturn automatically update my site.

And yet I have a ton of images that need to get there and I have yet to do it.

Chris

It is crazy! I do have an excuse as I am working full time and doing freelance retoucing when I get home. LOL

i have a ghetto one for the time being ..

created off a blog site ...

I have a website of my business for retouching, etc. Before you freak out, like alot of people do, please understand that most of my clients are pageant moms that want their children's photos "glitzed up" for a pageant. This means clear smooth creamy skin, long lashes, etc. Alot of people look at these photos and think they are discusting, but its just a part of pageantry. I also do natural photos among other things. Please take a look if you get a chance.

I have my portfolio site, it is very poor, I,m fashion digital photo retoucher and I have no time to make a good site. I only want to have something in the net like a personal card.

Was checking out some of the portfolios and was a bit shocked to find a picture of my daughter in one. Should people ask before using other peoples personal photos for their portfolios, even if they did the retouch?

Perhaps you should approach whoever has used your daughters photo.
Vicky.

if they did the retouch don't they have the rigth to use their own work...

I believe the right way to go about it would be to ask the person permission to use the photo. I think the photo belongs to the person who took the photo.

dose anyone know for sure?

Very good portfolios!

Shellby is it just my computer or your case studies doesen't have anything just a picture of an eye?!

I believe the right way to go about it would be to ask the person permission to use the photo. I think the photo belongs to the person who took the photo.

the photo does belong to the photographer, but i'm pretty sure using the photo in someones portfolio falls under the "fair use" clause under current copywrite laws...

Case Studies section is still being developed. The site is not yet live. I plan to have a few before and after's in that section... coming soon...

if they did the retouch don't they have the rigth to use their own work...

not without the photographers permission/model release.

yall should be a bit more careful with the images that you post here....lot of wacky people out there.

the photo does belong to the photographer, but i'm pretty sure using the photo in someones portfolio falls under the "fair use" clause under current copywrite laws...

model release and photographers permission are needed...fair use does not cover posting a picture of a model WITHOUT the model release.

Heres mine ...

I dont have a Site of my port. but I have a PDF where my port. stand in, with some work of my of course;)

model release and photographers permission are needed...fair use does not cover posting a picture of a model WITHOUT the model release.

ok, glad to know....but i'm sure fair use allows you to have it in a portfolio to show prospective clients...

it actually doesn't at all :-(. I have been having a hard time getting rights to use the work I do in my portfolio. I not only need photographers permission, but also the models permission as well, or a copy of the model release form.

Have You ever heard about ASP.NET?:)
Try use this and all problems will be solved, believe me. It is more comfortable to use ASP.net ( especially 2.0) combined with flash and this all driven by data from database ( excel /access/ whatever You want ):)
That is easy to use, to design :)
I did simple site of my Photo Team ( www.A2Team.pl ) and there are features for using severla versions ( I would like to have english/german/ spanish )
So as You see, that's easy:)

well that's a kick in the rear....i checked on google and most of the info regarding fair use involves the written word....they do however mention that the "author" is the owner of the copywrite, the question is whether they consider retouchers to be such an "author" as technically they had a part in producing the work...
