Create albums of my photos#95

Would like to be able to create albums so I can share photos of a specific genre or with a theme

I think that just adds quantity. I never liked instagram albums because maybe you don’t like all of them

It would be great to have this. Posting photos is all about storytelling, and sometimes it takes more than one to tell the full story.

Many ways to implement this - I’d either like to post a few photos in a post with the same caption and discussion, or create albums where people can discuss a series. Leave those details up to you!

This for sure adds quantity, but it can be handled in a feed pretty easily, for example as Flickr does, that shows your recent uploads, but if there are many at the same time, it will combine then and show something like:

John Doe’s updates
[photo1][photo2] "+ 23 images" that are a link to the profile (see here if you want a more graphical explanation: https://imgur.com/7eJPSyC)

Yes that would be great create albums may with a link to send to others to download , but that would cost a lot I thing with extra traffic , I would not mind to pay more for that service, i did try We transfer and it’s so unreliable,

Absent sharing/downloading, it would be great to be able to group photos by theme or bodies of work on the portfolio page. In my own photos, travel photos don’t make alot of sense intermingled with abstracts. It would be nice to see how other photographers organize their work as well.

I would LOVE to be able to creat Galleries/albums on my profile and link photos from my stream to a Gallery.

It would allow me to showcase my top B&W Urban shots vs my Travel photography it would also be extremely useful for sharing links to non-glass members to see my “portfolios”

I would like this, but not a as simple “these images are together” because that feels like it doesn’t add much value especially with the upcoming Series feature.

However, ability to create “actual” albums that have both text and images, allowing you to showcase a theme and have your thoughts alongside it, such as when published in a photography book - now that might be an interesting and original feature!

To keep the feature simple to use, manageable and clean, I would only allow albums to consist of blocks of text (perhaps with simple markdown formatting) and images (perhaps with an image description text).

Now if someone would then like to use them to just group a bunch of images under an album name, they could still do that, but the feature might by its form invite and inspire to provide added context.

When browsing images, you could also then see “This image appears in the context of following albums:” in the sidebar, to add more discoverability.
