What's your 'strategy'?

[AdamC]

'Strategy' for want of a better word. Do you put all your stuff on your website, or is it just a 'portfolio' of just your best work? Or do you have both?

I'm trying to work out a better way of doing things than I currently am. I turned my main site into a 'portfolio' which kinda left me with nowhere to host everything else (other than my flickr page, but I want something a bit more professional-looking than that.)

Anyway, just interested to see what everyone else is doing.

Your gallery looks fine.

Personally I use mine to hang what I consider to be my best work or my favourites. Quality not volume.

That's basically what I'm doing now, but it leaves me without somewhere to display everything else.

Are you using your site to bring in clients or sell existing stock? If you're looking for clients, there's no need to put everything out there on the site... If you're selling prints, then maybe it's more important to put more shots in front of people.

I'm not selling at the moment, but I'd like to. I actually have a completely separate site for that at the moment (progalleries.com.au, smugmug type of thing, only not as pretty) which I have a lot of soccer photos on, was hoping to sell a few to the other parents.

I'm thinking that at this point, being able to share my latest work with family, friends, POTN, etc, is probably more important than having a portfolio.. think I might ditch that idea.

Things like the landscape section of my website I'm going to keep expanding - when I have the time - as people may want prints of any of that sort of thing... whereas for the portraits/performance/live music side of things sample shots are enough to showcase what I do to those that may be interested in hiring me.

If I'm putting together a gallery of results for a client I'll just drop all the photos into the templates I have and link them to it with the page having links back to the main site.
