Which photographer has the best online portfolio, and why is it the best?

Manuel Librodo Jr. from Thailand. Hands down! The guy has the best photography I have ever seen.

Im a semi-pro too, and in the process of making my own online portfolio site. I feel Nicholas Creevy's site is one of the best out onthe web, for the following reasons: 1. Easy to use navigation - ie.

Left to right, which is ideal for online photo folios. 2. Simple, clean, crisp look... without any fancy bells & whistles.3.No flash, thus making images easier and faster to load.

4. Only pics, no distracting text, so potential clients can focus on that aspect, and not get bogged down in what went on in his mind when clicking the pics.5. Just the right sized images - not too large thus taking ages to load... and not so tiny you have to crinkle your eyes to view them.6.

Address, Contact details, and copyright clearly but subtley presented.7. Work well in any browser - no images going off the page if you have diff browsers and/or resolution set for your PC. Hope this helps.

Do lemme know your views... nadiraziz@yahoo.com.

I really think that this is something that the artist (you) needs to think through him/herself. This is part of the creative process and once you venture into trying one of the "do-it-yourself" web pages available online, you will come to discover another level of your artistic talent int his kind of process. I would recommend artlog.Com or artslant.

Com profile page for artists. Easy to manage. Let me know how you make out...

While it is not a specific photographer I want to share this website with you (maybe you already know it): boston.com/bigpicture/ You can discover very good photographers there from the credits on their pictures.

Boogie of artcoup.com. I think capturing real life is not only very artistic, but is vital in explaining how others live.

Wow, that's a hard question! There are so many great photographers. If you're looking for inspiration, you have to take a look at deviantart.com.

There are many, many photographers and artists of all types on that site. This photographer is one of my faves, http://petitescargot. Deviantart.com/ s work is just so beautiful to look at, and his use of angles is superb, in my opinion anyway!

If you are looking for inspiration look no further than Michael Kenna. Always an inspiration for me. If you are going to create an online portfolio please don't use flash, it is so anoying to have to wait so long for a photo to load up.

Your work should stand on it's own like michael kenna, you don't need the internets bells and whistles, just makes it look cheap.

If you are interested in cityscapes, take a look at V. Marinkovic's photo-gallery of Belgrade, Serbia, at pbase.com/vmarinkovic/belgrade. I have never seen a city photographed more lovingly or more beautifully - even though there are many cities that are more beautiful than Belgrade.

There is a gentleman in San Fransisco that has taken amazing photos of cities and many other places. He also has a vast variety of photo styles with over 10,000 photos in his portfolio. He is part of Creative Commons too, so that helpful if you plan to use his work for inspiration.

I am not sure of his proper name, Patrick something. S flickr user name is pbo31. Www.flickr.Com/pbo31.

As far as gallery design goes, I think SmugMug takes a win here - though the Boston. Com link earlier is very nice. It's easy enough to use and rather customizable, and you can sell prints from there with a pro account.

You can control what the users see to a startling degree, and the design scales automatically from small to large display sizes. Here's a gallery of galleries: dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1801307#118526... This is Ken Conger, probably one of the best bird photographers I've ever seen, he's also very prolific. This gallery of eagles is amazing: kenconger.smugmug.com/gallery/1269226_pn... I can't really pick a "best" though.

Different people have their specalties. I've always been a fan of Galen Rowell, though the Mountain Light gallery site is somewhat mediocre, the photos more than make up for it: mountainlight.com/gallery.easternsierra/... Mine is a work in progress, so I won't share it here. And I'm not all that good.

I would recommend checking out the works of Alex Lidsay and Scott Bourne. Both of them are amazing photographers and have quite large portfolios under their belt.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
