I've been looking at alot of the photographs I take (outside of DPC) and been trying to update my webpage getting photos in the right categories and showcasing the right photos....and I realized something....I'm having the hardest time categorizing my photos. Alot of my photos aren't really fashion, but aren't portrait either nor are they artistic...or are they? I really don't know anymore.

For example...how would you categorize these two photos.

Not necessarily asking for a critique on the technicals, but as usual all constructive comments are welcome. But I seriously need help categorizing these type of photos. And where do you draw the line and say that something steps out of the portrait realm and moves into another category? Can Fashion shots be portraits or vice versa? Can an artistic shot be a portrait?

Thanks,

Anthony

hmm..that works well for a site like DPC...and I guess it would work well for my website but it doesn't really give diversity. And when i post them on different sites it becomes difficult.

I have a online portfolio a //www.onemodelplace.com/hawthora where you have to categorize your photos. And people isn't an option. It's fashion, casual, commericial, glamour, etc. And I have no clue which categories would be better suited for some of these photos.
