If you’re anything like the photographers at SmugMug, you have more photos than you know what to do with. And if you’ve been taking photos for a while, they may be in a lot of different places: your phone, a portable hard drive, an old social media site, a shoebox, the list goes on. It’s a bit of work up front, but organizing your photos can be an immense help, whether you’re a casual phone photographer or a long-time pro. Organizing photos online has three primary benefits over the old-school methods mentioned above: protecting your photos, making them easy to find, and controlling their visibility to the world.
