How long should a videographer portfolio reel be?

Aim for 60 to 90 seconds for the hero reel. Offer longer category cuts for clients who want depth after they are hooked.

Should I host video files on my portfolio site?

Embed from YouTube, Vimeo, or similar for speed and reliability. Use your page for curation, context, and contact.

Do I need separate pages for editing vs. shooting?

If you sell both, label sections clearly. Many clients hire a combined package; confusion about your role kills momentum.

Can I show student or passion projects?

Yes when they match the work you want. Lead with paid or high-production samples if you have them.

Quick answer

A videographer portfolio should open on your best reel, then offer category cuts for weddings, commercial, or documentary work. Hard-drive folders and unlisted YouTube dumps make prospects bounce. One polished page builds trust before the call.
