PORTFOLIO FROM THE HOUSE OF PORTFOLIOS QUESTION

To answer Tia's Questions on the house of portfolio review :

Hi,

I am planning to buy a portfolio and I like your post about your new book from houseofportfolio. I would like to know if if the pages in your new book are closed in three sides and only open on the top, or are also open on the bottom.

Can you post a picture of the book opened in the middle to show how the pages keep flat.

Sorry if I ask you so many questions but is an important investment and I would like to be sure before I buy it.

TIA.

Answer :

Hi Tia,

The pages are open at the top and the bottom.

Here is a picture of the book open.


Hope that help.
Good luck on portfolio making...

Cheers,
Frederic.

NEW PORTFOLIO FROM THE HOUSE OF PORTFOLIOS

It's been something like 15 years since the last time I changed my portfolio book.
So I decided to order a new one from The House Of Portfolios.
A company based in New York for over 20 years.
They are making by order custom portfolio books.
With covers made of Leather, Fabric, Plexiglass, Metal...

I chose "fashion red" Genuine Leather.

It took approximately 3 weeks to have it delivered.


Very well secured packing.


The red leather is pretty close to the sample you see on there website.
I just wished it was a bit brighter. More like red Ferrari. But that's just my preference.


The back cover has a pouch for your Zed-cards.

Very well crafted.





My custom logo was precisely stamped. Even where the letters were very close.

Some of the Acetate pages where a bit dusty. But no biggie they were easy to clean.


CONCLUSION
They are many ways to show your work.
The cheap way: Already made portfolio books that you can buy from your camera store.
The expensive Way: Have a very creative designer make you a very unique book that reflects your work.
Or have a more classy well built custom made book from the House of Portfolios.
Because what you want is a professional presentation that says confidence and you're in the game. Happy I did it.

PROS
Very well crafted down to the small details.
Make your work look very professional.
Worth the money.

CONS
The turn around time is three weeks.
Mine came a bit dusty.
