Build a scalp micropigmentation portfolio that clearly shows your work and the stage each photograph captures. This guide covers consistent photography, permission to publish, accurate captions and a gallery that is easy to use on a phone.
Start with a practice record, then write only what that record supports. The worked example below shows how to separate visible facts from details you still need to confirm.
Draft a practice-photo caption →For a course submission, use the current assessment instructions and ask your tutor which views, notes and examples are required. A public gallery has a different purpose: it helps someone understand the work you can honestly show and decide whether to make an inquiry.
Label practice work as practice work. If an example was completed under supervision, describe your contribution accurately and credit the work performed by others. Show only client results you can substantiate and have permission to publish.
Choose examples for clarity and relevance rather than filling an arbitrary quota. Keep any private assessment feedback separate from material intended for public viewing.
If you are building your first practice record, use the SMP beginner’s guide and existing practice examples as a starting point, then ask your tutor what to document for your next assignment.
Use a repeatable setup: a simple background, consistent light, a clean lens and a camera position you can reproduce. Check focus before ending the session. For comparisons, avoid changing the angle or distance in ways that exaggerate a difference.
Do not label an image healed simply because a set number of weeks has elapsed. State the known date or stage, and ask your tutor how the work should be documented for assessment.
Before using a person’s image or words publicly, agree what may be shared and where. Keep a record of that permission. Discuss identifiable details, including the face, tattoos or background features, rather than assuming a cropped photograph is anonymous.
Store private case notes and consent records separately from the public gallery. Publish only the information agreed for that purpose. If you are unsure about privacy or record-retention requirements, get advice appropriate to your business and location.
Use testimonials only when they are genuine and you have permission to publish them. Do not invent satisfaction scores, personal stories or comments to make a case study more persuasive.
A useful caption identifies what the viewer is seeing without claiming more than the records support. Keep it brief and avoid including unnecessary personal information.

A treatment stage, assessment result or client outcome would need its own supporting record. Keep those claims out of a setup caption.
Choose the facts from your own practice record. Use anonymous notes. This tool does not upload photographs or store your entries.
Cropping and resizing for display should not alter the result being represented. Avoid skin smoothing, added pigment, selective blurring or other edits that change the apparent outcome. Another person’s result should not be presented as a guarantee for a prospective client.
Group examples using clear labels that describe the work. Put the images and captions together so readers do not have to guess which description belongs to which photograph. Keep a straightforward contact or consultation link nearby.
Test the gallery on a phone as well as a desktop. Check image loading, text size, cropping and whether comparison controls can be used easily. If you use a slider, confirm that both images remain understandable without relying on the interaction alone.
Review the gallery when you have new, permission-based work to add or information to correct. Keep the original records, and replace misleading or outdated captions promptly.
The current SMP course includes photography and portfolio work. Its photography lesson covers comparable views, stage and date labels, and separate permission for marketing images. Use your current tutor’s brief for assessed submissions, and ask for feedback on how you document the next example as well as the practical work itself.
Review the US online scalp micropigmentation course for the current syllabus and assessment information. Ask the team which equipment and submission requirements apply before purchasing materials.
A portfolio supports a conversation about your work. It does not replace assessment, supervised experience or the requirements that apply where you intend to practise.
