Building The Perfect Instagram Portfolio | Fast Company | Business + Innovation

Building The Perfect Instagram Portfolio | Fast Company | Business + Innovation: Douglas Friedman walked into a meeting at a major, well-respected advertising agency in Los Angeles, carrying a large portfolio of his work. There was wine, and a cheese platter--and 30 or so art directors waiting to grill him. "I was all nervous," he said.

But before Friedman, an accomplished photographer, could show off his physical book, which includes celebrity portraits for the likes of Harper’s Bazaar alongside beautiful photos of rooms for Architectural Digest, his judges asked him about a trip he took last Christmas. "They all followed my Instagram, and that's all they wanted to talk about," he told Fast Company. "And it's what landed me a big advertising campaign."
