pierre rochon Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello to all, I'd appreciate your opinion about any aspect of my pics (processing, composition, keywording...). Thanks https://www.alamy.com/portfolio/652485.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Dwyer Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hello Pierre You have an excellent collection of images that I'm sure will sell well. A couple of thoughts though: with nearly 4000 images you should be able to add some additional tabs or categories like say by Country or buildings, or people? you can then send links for these individual pages or tabs to key users within the tabs and even in your All Images tab you want to put your best foot forward so think about pushing your best work to the top of each page or tab. This also helps to show diversity in your portfolio These portfolios are a WIP for all of us so no one has all of the answers on this topic but hopefully you will find the above helpful.

pierre rochon Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thank you Stephen, I hadn't thought of adding categories to my portfolio, I'm still not very familiar with all its possibilities. But if I create categories or change the order of my images in the portfolio, how will this impact the results of a search made by a potential customer?

Have a read of the Alamy post in this forum and it will help you "Modifying the image order within your Portfolio page will not influence where your images are placed within customer searches" There is other useful info there as well on setting up your portfolio. thanks Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Matt I dont know yet and unless Alamy provide us with some tracking I'm not going to know. I don't have my own web site (probably should) so this is my default place to show off more of my work. I think it will also be handy to share work with clients. In terms of categories I have selected simple ones that fit my photos so lets see how things go. BTW the Bus Stops category i put up is really just for fun. I doubt there is a huge global market for images of lonely Australian bus stops!

Until Alamy leads customers to our portfolios (following an image search) I probably won't be bothering to populate mine. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie5 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Your name under the searched photo is a hyperlink to your pseudonym collection. Its unfortunate that its no longer highlighted in blue to make it obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Nice pictures, Pierre. But I feel that you should brighten them some in your PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
