A typical contact print
This is a copy of the very first blog entry I ever wrote for the graduates of my 3-Day Basic Photography Seminar. I wrote this more than 5 years ago.
"If you are a budding photographer and you want to showcase your work through the internet , do yourself a favor and select only the best photos from every photoshoot.
It doesn't matter what you shot: models, products, street scenes, events, etc. Narrow your photos down to a few of the best photos. If there are any two photos that are even slightly similar, choose between the two.

By choosing only the best ones that do not look similar to each other, you are silently making a statement: "My shots are all beautiful."
If you show too many photos, let's say, in a Multiply album, it will look like a contact print. That puts your viewers in a "select mode" and they will think: "Ah... ito maganda... ito panget....panget.... pangeeet.. maganda.... panget."
Remember, it's the quality that counts, not the quantity. By choosing only the best ones that do not look similar to each other, you are silently making a statement: "My shots are all beautiful. Wala kang makikitang pangit sa photos ko." If you manage to make your viewers think that, you are actually convincing them that you are a good photographer.
