For a photographer, the contents and presentation of a portfolio are more important than a resume. I have been working on my portfolio for 2 years now and will continue working on it for the rest of my life. A portfolio is never finished. As you continue to grow as a photographer and your photos keep improving, you'll want to switch photos in and out of your portfolio.
For me, getting the right photos for mine was much easier than actually putting it together. The first question is do you want a book or digital portfolio? For me, it's both. I want to be able to bring in a book to show prospective employers and also leave them a CD with all my images so they can refer back to them.
Designing the actual book has been really difficult for me...and I'm still working on it! Being the poor college student that I am, I can't afford anything special. Getting my images printed off costs enough as it is!! I have a simple black leather binder with my photos TAPED onto nice black paper.
Here is a quick video on some tips for a photography portfolio...
