Overview

This video features Emmanuelle Callerame providing feedback and guidance on the portfolios of artists Séverine and Philippe. The session focuses on reviewing the visual presentation, content selection, and overall effectiveness of their portfolios, with a goal of helping them create stronger and more impactful professional presentations of their work.

Key takeaways

• Portfolio Length and Format: Both Séverine and Philippe were commended for having portfolios of an appropriate length (16 and 15 pages, respectively) and for choosing formats (landscape and portrait) that suit their artwork.
• Séverine's Portfolio Design: Discussions centered on Séverine's use of a large gray band, its visual impact, and how it might detract from her artwork. Suggestions included making it less prominent or exploring alternative design elements like thin black lines.
• Artwork Selection: The importance of showcasing the best and most representative pieces was emphasized. Advice was given on whether to include works that are no longer in stock, with the consensus being that a portfolio is a showcase of an artist's best work, not a sales catalog.
• Philippe's Portfolio Focus: Philippe's portfolio was noted for its strong unity and focus on a specific theme (portraits, black and white). The discussion included the potential to include two images per page occasionally to add dynamism.
• Text and Biography: Both Séverine and Philippe received feedback on their biographical texts, with suggestions on highlighting key information, structuring sentences, and using bold text for readability. The distinction between a biography and a artist statement (démarche) was also discussed.
• CV Presentation: Séverine's CV was praised for its graphic appeal and clarity, serving as a good example of how to present information effectively.
• Final Touches: Minor details like the alignment of text, the size of cartels (artwork labels), and the inclusion of contact information were also addressed.
