Websites as tear sheets?

TylerW

Every now and again, my dayjob calls upon my to bust out a couple of portraits of our staff for use on various feature pages. And, every nw and again I go sniffing around for photo credentials and am often blunted when they want to see tear sheets or other examples of my work, published. So my question is this: have any of you had experience with using websites as tearsheets, and if so, what is your process? Do you provide a URL, provided that the page will be around for some time, or do you go for a high gloss print? Any question of authenticity, seeign as you could have obviously photoshopped your work into the site in question?

Just trying to build out the portfolio with 'professional' work, ya know?

Almost all agencies I've worked with do not accept web work as legitimate tear sheets unless you can show that it was used on a major site or in a major ad campaign, and even then, they want to see a print component or they'll not give it much weight.

Now that anyone can be a publisher, a tear sheet from the web doesn't win the day.

I assumed that was how it worked, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for the responses, now back to the lab.
