Question
How can photographers benefit from the NextGEN Gallery plugin as recommended by Scott Kivowitz?
Answer
Photographers benefit from NextGEN Gallery in a few big ways:
-
Fast gallery management: Creating galleries, uploading, and inserting them into posts is “as easy as 1, 2, 3,” so keeping a portfolio fresh is much less of a chore.
-
Flexible display styles: Slideshows, image lists, image browser, and Pro Lightbox let you present work in different, polished layouts.
-
Built‑in proofing and sales (with NextGEN Pro): Clients can favorite images via stars, submit selections, and you can sell prints and digital downloads directly from your WordPress site—no third‑party proofing service required.
-
Lightroom integration: With the AlloyPhoto export plugin you can publish from Lightroom straight to WordPress, keeping site galleries in sync with your catalog.
What part of your workflow are you hoping to improve: portfolio display, client proofing, or print sales?
