I'm thinking about creating a portfolio of my work and would be looking to purchase a professional looking binder to make a good impression when displaying to potential future clients etc
I really have no idea what seperates a good binder from a bad binder so i'd be grateful for any suggestions on where I can get one, and on which one to get?
well yeah, that's what I meant but I wasn't sure if the folder part was actually called portfolio or the whole thing with the photographs in was called portfolio.... if you get what i mean?

It's usually "book" or "portfolio". Never "binder" ;)
Depends on what you're trying to get into / what clients you're trying to target. Prices can range drastically.
lol don't be picky, it can be a binder too, even though it does tend to drum up miserable images of work!
Can you elaborate on why you think different portfolio's suit different audiences?
I just thought a leather bound book would do the trick?
Because you don't want to go into an interview with a vinyl binder that says starving student =)
Presentation matters to clients.
I don't think it's necessary to get a $1000+ book for showcasing family portraits, but I don't think it'd hurt to showcase your work in a professional light that's appropriate for whatever market segment you're getting into.
