When it comes to product photography, it is important to choose a photographer whose portfolio matches your needs. Here are some tips on how to assess a photographer's portfolio and make sure they are a good fit for your project:

1. Look for a photographer who has experience with the type of product you need photographed. If you need photos of jewelry, for example, look for a photographer who has experience shooting jewelry or other small, delicate items.

2. Make sure the photographer's style matches your vision. If you want clean, minimalist product photos, make sure the photographer's portfolio reflects that style.

3. Pay attention to the lighting in the photographer's photos. If you need photos with specific lighting requirements (e.g. photos for a website banner), make sure the photographer's portfolio includes examples of photos with similar lighting.

4. Ask to see examples of the photographer's work with similar products. If you can, get in touch with some of the photographer's previous clients to see if they were happy with the results.

5. Make sure you are clear about your budget and what is included in the photographer's fees. Some photographers charge by the hour, while others charge a flat fee for the entire project. Be sure to get an estimate in writing before you commit to working with a particular photographer.
