Hi,
I'm beginning to build a portfolio of my B&W photographs for what will hopefully be future book publication. The portfolio would be around 150 coastal north carolina images that would be for a coffee table style book. The images in the book would probably be around 6x9", give or take. My question is what size prints should I be making for this portfolio? I don't want to speak to any publishers until I have all of the photos printed, so if one shows interest, they won't have to wait on me. I will be contacting a lot of publishers, and I'm afraid they may have different needs as far as print sizes. My thoughts are that I would be best off doing all my prints on 11x14 paper so that they would hold there detail when they are downsized for the book. Not all of the photos are large format so I wouldn't want to build the portfolio in 16x20. Anyone have any experience with printing for book publication? I could really use your thoughts.
