A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Portfolio and consistency (alien.top)

Since we are all putting only the best shots into portfolio, have anyone ever had a client whose expectations were not met? I am amateur myself and if I put only a handful of selected photos, it would not tell my real level as a photographer, because some of those shots are just lucky snaps on right moment and I 100% could not deliver same kind of quality, every time. How do you deal with this, or do you deal with it at all?

Don't put shots you can't consistently repeat in your portfolio.

Exactly this. Clients want to know what type of photographer they are hiring. If a certain shot is in your portfolio, they are hiring you because they want you to take that style of shot for them.
