So, the time had come for me to put together a new print portfolio, and as usual the search to find the right company to make it took a good deal of time, effort, and research. After a long and detailed search I settled on IrisPortfolios in Canada, and I am sure glad I did! I had them put together an 11″x17″ landscape book, wrapped in black buckram with a black silk liner and an awesome blue spine. Pockets were made to hold my new business cards in the front and promo cards and resume in the back. They then made a matching clamshell case for the portfolio, also wrapped in black buckram. It can be a bit unnerving ordering something this special from outside of the country without a hands on look at a sample, but Iris did an amazing job with this one and I wanted to take a few quick shots to show it off. I stuck to printing the images myself, as I usually do, so I have final say in quality control. This timeI tried something a bit different, and printed the images on pages that have black backings instead of the more standard white, keeping with the overall look of the case and portfolio. Hope you guys like it as much I do! Give the images a click for a larger view. Now, who to send this off to/show to first…
