Collaborate online to produce incredible new work for your portfolio! Whats a collab shoot like when it's virtual as a oppose to in-person?  When we first heard about members setting up fashion shoots online, we couldn't figure out how they were doing it. A lot of the work on a collaboration shoot requires a hands-on approach - a makeup artist applying a look on the face of a model, a photographer positioning the subject, a designer building a set or an assistant adjusting the lighting... so how were they able to produce results without physically being able to interact? 

The layout of your portfolio can clearly have an impact on the way that your work is perceived. Whether you choose to display images as single shots, or set them up in a new format, might make a difference as to whether you get that job or not. We spoke to some inspiring members at Freelancer Club whose portfolios feature an interesting layout or presentation choice. Take their tips to freshen up your profile!
