Hey all!

I'm putting together my first website, and am trying to figure out how I want to organize it all.

I'm mainly into photojournalism, shooting a lot of "reportage" stories. I also have a lot of random stuff - a few portraits, travel stuff, and assorted "fine art" stuff (macros, stuff that doesn't fit in anywhere else).

So far, my best idea is to label my categories for pictures as follows:

People (portraits, etc. Maybe one section for B and W and one for colour?)
Places (travel - different portfolios for each country visited)
Stories (reportages -different portfolio for each event/story)
Shapes (fine art... not sure how to set this one up yet.)

Thoughts? Things I'm missing or overlooking? Does that sound really cheesy somehow?

Thanks!

There is no real standard for this. My experience is that no matter how hard you think you have thought it through you will think of something else once you are up and running.

Those are the main categories that alot of people use and are a catch all. I would take those categories and break them into sub categories for easier searching. This of course would be dependent on how many images you plan on putting on the site.

As always, IMO.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.
