Kumar It is definitely your portfolio and a fine one it is too but the link you have posted is not what it should be even though it works. It seems slower than it should be presumably because it is doing an Alamy search. It should actually be in the form: https://www.alamy.com/portfolio/114725.html I got that url by copying the link under Share My Portfolio on your page. You should also be able to change the /114725 to something more relevant such as /kumarsriskandan although there is probably no hurry given that as you have told me before your name is unique .

Those are the types of uses most people on FB, etc. would be interested in. Edited November 24, 2018 by John Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing that I would like to see is one's forum link going straight to the portfolio page. I am guessing that the latter would not be a lot of work in terms of programming.

I think Alamy definitely need to make it so clicking on a contributors name - be it from the forum or from a photo on sale - takes you to that person's portfolio and do it sooner rather than later. I guess there might be some issues with the fact that this is a new function and while those of us on the forum are very active choosing it other less frequent users probably won't be. However, it does need to be made the default destination for name clicks and that needs to be done fairly rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Preston Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 No galleries, yet, and no mugshot either, have just mixed up images on the first page to give a better overview of what's available.

This could prove to be a dangerous facility. No sooner had I read your post than I looked at my 'All Images' gallery again and decided to tweak the position of a couple of images, which turned in to tweaking a couple more and so on and so on. This could be never ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mulholland/Illuminata Photo Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 So, I've prepared my portfolio, but I'm unable to update the portfolio "name." It's just the digitized URL assigned to me by Alamy. I've tried three different browsers. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Alamy stated you had to set the URL to what you wanted before curating your portfolio as it could not be changed after. Others may have found a way to do it though. Allan Thought I was correct. Alamy quote "You can choose to share your portfolio as a whole or individual galleries. You’ll get a link you can distribute that will take users directly to the area of your portfolio you want to promote. When sharing a link to your entire portfolio, you can create a unique link formatted to “https://www.alamy.com/portfolio/[your portfolio name]” – this will be unique to you and once chosen can’t be changed so please choose carefully!"

Brizbee Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Fashionably late to the party as always, here's my wee portfolio. https://www.alamy.com/portfolio/brianhird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brooks Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Here is my portfolio, temporarily without the banner image that appears to be unstable at this time. https://www.alamy.com/portfolio/billbrooks I do not see this as a way to sell my stock images, but rather as a useful capability/credibility portfolio when introducing myself to new associates. When I first started out in the arts I used to have a portfolio of my artwork in the form of hard copies printed pieces etc to introduce my experience and capabilities to new clients. Sometimes my new client, or even old clients, would borrow my hard copy portfolio to discuss with their management. Occasionally they would purchase an image out of the portfolio, but only if it was available as stock. I expect my Alamy portfolio to be used in the same way. Therefore I only have one extra tab "Favourites" and the Alamy default tab "All Images". "Favourites" is my capability portfolio. I will not be creating tabs for individual subjects because they can search "All images" by keyword. So rather than having a "Transportation" tab let them search "All images" using the keyword "Transportation".

AlexH Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Playing with this new feature has been fun and interesting trawling back through older images which has stimulated thought on what to shoot going forward and some keyword tweaking. No bad thing! However I agree with others who have wondered aloud how exactly it will help with sales. I guess most of us are here because we don't deal directly with buyers much, if at all. So it will be interesting to see if Alamy use these portfolios to find and promote images and with any luck boost sales! https://www.alamy.com/portfolio/alexhinds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I read the piece about choosing my portfolio name wisely, but I've not been able to create and save a name at all, so I don't understand what's going on. I haven't shared the portfolio since I have yet created the name I want it to be. Just now, I checked my portfolio page and I'm trying to create a "portfolio ID." However, when I insert my name into the blank box and click on the "create portfolio ID" button, nothing happens and I'm left with my numerical portfolio ID. What am I missing???

Brizbee Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi Tim, I had the same problem setting up my ID. My default browser is Firefox and it just wouldn't do anything when I pushed the button, so I tried it using Microsoft Edge and it worked first time. Is this one of the browsers you've already tried? Also, it has nothing to do with preparing your portfolio or creating your galleries. I had created all of mine before I was able to create my ID. It all comes down to getting that button to work on some browser or other and then it's set in stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
