What Counts as Portfolio?

It's tough looking for a job depending on the industry, but more often, it's difficult overall because of competition. Taking pictures can both be a hobby and work. I'm still not sure about what I should put in my photography portfolio. What photos do you include in yours when looking for a job or a gig?

I showcased what I mostly thought others would see and want for themselves. That's probably not a great answer, but I think it depends on your market. I'd definitely include anything that helped you win an award if you have done so.

The thing to consider when organizing your portfolio is the company's needs. Niches and genres are commonly included in job descriptions, while state your specialization if you're promoting yourself.
