· More than one image on one page are considered one piece ie. diptych or triptych.
· The images should be the same size- there are exceptions, but for the most part.
· Consider the layout of your photos in your portfolio before you buy a book, if your images are too big for your portfolio, then they might not fit on the page if they are landscape orientation. It is awkward to have to turn the book when looking through.
· Make sure to use archival tape to fasten your images to the page.
· If you are sending your portfolio to a post-secondary institution, check with the requirements of the school. Each school has different expectations.
