Photography Tips and Tricks - 55 (How to Catalog Your Photos)

Happy New Year!  In this week's tip, I am sharing how I store my photos for easy retrieval.   There are two basic methods.

1. By location/topic.   All your photos are organized by location or topic.

2. By date (this is the method I use).

I create a new folder for the Year and for each month.  Inside the month folders, I create a folder for each photo session.  I can then search via months for a photo.  Sometimes it takes me a little while, but most of my shoots I can recall when I took the photos.
