AI Portfolio Builder

Your best portfolio, curated by AI

Choosing 20 photos out of thousands for a gallery, competition, or book takes days. Photoreka's portfolio builder combines 8-dimension artistic scoring, five coherence modes, and intelligent sequencing to deliver a curated, ordered selection you can actually present.

Set a target size (10–40 photos), describe the vibe you're after, pick a coherence mode, and let the builder score, select, and arrange your strongest work.

One workflow, many outputs

Whether you're preparing for a gallery, a competition, a client delivery, or a photobook—the same intelligent pipeline adapts to your goal.

Gallery Exhibition

Curate 20–40 photos that share a visual language. Use the Visual or Chromatic coherence mode to ensure the selection hangs together on a wall.

Competition Submission

Surface your strongest 10–15 images ranked across aesthetics, composition, originality and message. Tune the weights to match the judging criteria.

Client Delivery

Distill a shoot into a tight edit. Filter by date range or collection, score across quality dimensions, and deliver a sequenced selection — not a raw dump.

Photobook Layout

Use Narrative coherence and AI sequencing to build arcs with pacing, tonal transitions, and balanced orientations across spreads.

How portfolio building works

A guided wizard turns a scored catalog into a curated, sequenced portfolio in five short steps.

1

Name it and describe the vibe

Give your portfolio a name and, optionally, a theme in plain language — e.g. "European cities at night, moody urban vibes". The theme acts as a soft bias during curation, not a hard filter.

2

Pick a size and your artistic priorities

Choose a target between 10 and 40 photos. Then either describe your style ("strong storytelling and humor, cinematic light") and let the AI parse it into weights, or tune the 8 artistic dimensions manually with genre presets (Street, Documentary, Artistic…).

3

Filter and choose a coherence mode

Narrow the candidate pool by visual aspects (genre, framing, depth of field, lighting…), date range or collection. Then select how the portfolio should hold together: Visual, Chromatic, Narrative, Heterogeneous or Free.

4

Let the AI score, select and sequence

The engine builds a ranked candidate pool, evaluates photos in context with a vision LLM, refines the set to remove redundancies, and — if enabled — arranges the final sequence with attention to visual flow and orientation balance.

5

Review, reorder, refine

Drag photos to reorder, remove the ones that don't belong (with undo), or pull in additional shots from your catalog. Adjust columns and gap, save the layout, or start a manual portfolio from scratch at any time.

Built for serious photographic curation

Not a template gallery. A curation engine that understands quality, coherence and narrative — and lets you stay in control.

8-Dimension Artistic Scoring

Every analyzed photo is scored across aesthetic quality, composition, storytelling, originality, message, humor, visual games and candidness. Emphasize the axes that matter for this portfolio.

Five Coherence Modes

Visual (similar style), Chromatic (shared palette), Narrative (related situations and emotional tone), Heterogeneous (maximize diversity) or Free (pure quality). Same catalog, five very different portfolios.

Describe Your Style in Plain Language

Skip the sliders if you want. Describe the mood and intent — the builder parses your text into emphasize/deemphasize sets and shows a live preview of the resulting weight vector before you commit.

Intelligent Sequencing

Photos aren't listed by date. A greedy algorithm orders them maximizing embedding dissimilarity between neighbours, spreading orientations so verticals and horizontals alternate naturally across the sequence.

Precise Visual Filters

Narrow the candidate pool by genre, framing, depth of field, lighting scheme, perspective, stylistic traits, date range or collection. Fully optional — combine any subset of filters.

Similarity Gating & Refinement

The engine rejects near-duplicates using perceptual hashing and CLIP similarity, then iteratively refines the pre-selection with the vision LLM to trim the weakest or most redundant shots before sequencing.

3D Atlas

From portfolio curation to 3D exploration

Once your portfolio starts taking shape, step into the 3D Atlas to zoom out and understand the larger body of work it comes from. Photoreka arranges your images in space by visual similarity, revealing clusters, repetitions, transitions, and unexpected relationships across your archive. It is the ideal companion for refining selections, discovering adjacent images, and seeing your photography with more clarity, coherence, and perspective.
