I am in the process of putting together a hard copy portfolio to take with me to an agency meeting but i have one problem - i have no idea what a real hard copy portolio is supposed to look like because everything is digital now!

So do i just get a binder and put some photos in there in those plastic sheet protectors or is there more to it? Do I include my stats in there some where? If so, where? Do i seperate the pictures according to theme? 

Obveiosuly, the internet has made things so easy that i am confused about how to do this hard copy port.

Any answers/suggestions are welcomed!

Thank you!

Uhh, yeah, what Dan said.

Order a book or buy a good one here in Atlanta we have a store called Sam Flax or try a Binders Art Store. Online www.HouseofPortfolios.com
Make sure you have a decent quality looking book, they can run you anywhere between 50.00-150.00. Also make sure you book tells a story and have your best work in it, and you can include you tearsheets and stars in a section of it...
Good luck....Remember, most agency's like to see very clean looking faces...

The thread that Dan pointed to is great.  Read it twice.  It helped me a lot.  Also take a look at the thread that I started about getting prints made at https://modelmayhem.com/posts.php?thread_id=28454

As for books, I got an 11x14 Itoya Evolution for under $10 bucks.  It has stitched edges and 24 sheets.  Don't spend a lot of money on the book.  Spend your money making sure your images are great.
