Website suggestions to showcase photos

Iren · 9 Sep 2016

i need some suggestions regarding the website to showcase my work.

I have now quite a few photos and when people ask to show the examples i just send them via mail with watermark on and dont think thats the way forward

I am not keen on facebook as i understand i cant do 2 pages for my name and dont want to link photo page as my work, because its not. Moreover, i am not ready yet to build proper website, so just something i can upload my photos to and send the link when needed

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I am just setting up a wordpress site with galleries
only issue is the gallery image size is a bit to widescreen at 1920 x 1080 px

Also, Ipernity and 500px might be worth a look. (Just clicked through to 500px and it seems to be more stock orientated at first glance - so maybe not what you're after)

I made a website using WIX - not an expert by any means but I found it quite easy. I use FLICKR to allow people to look at photos.

For me 500px is similar to instagram

Have you ever thought about adding a photo gallery to your website?. My boyfriend's friend did this, and the best part is....that he did it all by himself!. My boyfriend and i are launching an online shop ourselves next week..finally yaay!!, and we are definitely going to be adding a photo gallery to our website. I was reading through a bunch of articles and https://www.1and1.co.uk/digitalguid...w-to-create-a-photo-gallery-for-your-website/ had some pretty good pointers. We have invested in a new camera because the pictures available on the gallery need to be sharp, crisp and simply captivating!

another for Flickr - I find 500px amusing at times as some of the photos on there that get 1k likes shock me but each to their own LOL

If you're serious about your photography and value your work look at PixelRights - great site and with copyright protection measures. Don't put stuff on Flickr or similar it will just get lifted and used for free!

Thanks for the suggestion.
I guess i need to add watermark to the photos to protect them at least a bit..
