So I'm finally going for an interview for an internship and I have to put together an official portfolio. My question is, do I choose one type of work and have it surrounding just that topic, like only portraits, or do I put together a few from all of my types of photographs? If it were sections I think it would be portraits, landscapes, and photojournalism/sports. Does it depend on the photographer? His name is jimmy williams//www.jwproductions.com. The interview is on friday so I have lots of work to do. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Variety is good, but may depend on what types of subjects that the photographer mainly does.

He shoots commercial/advertising/portriature work that usually involves studio lighting but outdoors on location.

You can sort by style or variety or preference - but be sure that whatever you choose is PERFECT. Better to show them 5 perfect shots than 50 okay ones!

Looks like a lot of his shots have some impressive lighting techniques. You may want to include some of yours with strong knowledge of lighting.

His specialty seems to be bringing lights along on moving objects such as boat, cars, motorcycles. Impressive portfolio. I agree that lighting will be the key to your portfolio.

I was sort of thinking the same and purposefully scheduled a few studio shoots before hand. I just got some last night that I am quite pleased with so maybe I can get one or two more on Tuesday night. Man, I'm getting nervous. I only have a handful of shots with studio lighting.
