Portfolio management ...how do you do it?

I think most portfolios will either be grouped by 'type' of shot in sub folders or left in the main portfolio.

I love looking at other peoples images and think it has help me learn lots. I have just uploaded a couple more images and was putting them in 'their' folders when I realised this...

I often look at peoples portfolios and apart from the last 4 additions you need to go looking through all their folders to find new pictures (not always a bad thing).

I have come up with this... I plan on having a folder of the month and will leave my latest pictures there until the next month comes along when I'll then categorise them into folders.

For starters September

Thoughts? do others do the same?

*friendly bump*

so, would this not be a good idea? I'd also thought of making my folders a date thing rather than 'type of shot' so that I and others (hopefully) will see how I grow as a fotog over time.

Ecce I think this is a great idea. Its very nice of you to organise your folio so that we can view it more easily. I have a little bit of trouble even getting to my folio. I've just started working up a website to catorgarise my images.

I like what you've done with your portfolio Ecce. So far I have just left mine in the main folder but yours is much nicer. Something to think about doing..

Perfect idea!!!!! I wish I had thought of that, but now that you have (thank you!), I am going to do that also. I have wanted a way to keep track of the new work by varous photographers here and have found that it can sometimes be difficult as you did. I also kept my latest ones out of folders for that reason. THANKS!!! Great idea.
