1 Facebook page for everything or separate pages?

I'm curious as to how others use Facebook pages. Do you create a page for different aspects of photography so you can market to them differently or do you use one page more to show off your personality?

At the moment I have a page geared towards weddings and portraits, and another one for corporate events, etc...

I don't see the point in having multiple pages. Having one page simplifies management and posting of photos (eg: hmmm so these company family day photos should go under... corporate events or portraits?) and also when telling clients about the photography you do, you just need to give them 1 link and put that same link on your business card/main website (instead of; oh I do wildlife photography too.... here's the dedicated fb page for that - gets tedious and may turn off some clients who may not even visit that other page)

I had been considering that. I asked because I wondered if say wedding clients would not like having corporate event photos pop up on their feeds. Curious to see responses from more people though.

Can you do multiple tabs on fb pages?

I have multiple pages. I shoot a bunch of models (some with little clothing) that shouldnt be lumped into work wih high school seniors. I don't want moms to be turned off by some of the poses/outfits. I have a page for weddings/families as they don't care about the other stuff i shoot. I also hage a page for seniors and all things seniors.

It helps keep things organized and helps people find that they are for..

Its worth mentioning that i just started this a couple months ago.

I'm not sure how you can do that on Facebook, unless each has a distinct email address (and it might still be against Facebook policy anyway).

But it's normally much better to market disparate genres distinctly from each other. Nobody looks for a "generalist," and few people are interested in wasting time looking at anything other than what they're interested in at that moment.

Brides are looking for wedding experts, corporate buyers will run fast from anyone claiming to handle both weddings and commercial work with equal aplomb. As mentioned, high school senior marketing doesn't mix well with "naked hot chicks."

Good points from both of you. Where I am the market is smaller so people expect crossover in to other types of photography. But definitely no mixing of half naked girls with family work.

Some things mix. You can mix portraits of all types with weddings in most markets, including business portraits...call all that "consumer" photography.

But you can't really mix other kinds of commercial with consumer photography, and you don't want to mix art photography (landscapes, city scapes, street photography, "personal" work) with consumer or commercial work. So-called "model photography" needs to be separate from other things as well, and you'd want to keep boudoir separate from everything else.

As far as I know, you can create as many pages as you want to. Its all run under my personal profile, so its not an additional profile. Its just a separate page for each one

You can create as many as you want.

For what you are asking I suggest you make multiple pages. Corporate and Weddings should be separated IMO.

I keep it separate. I don't want my brides to search through a run of non-wedding pics and it helps me to better target market all my work.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I have a lot to think about going forward.
