What are good sites to create a photo portfolio?

Asked by lilikoi (10110points) January 14th, 2010

The only one I am familiar with is Deviant Art. I want to be able to upload photographs to a site that gets tons of traffic and provides the capability of selling the photograph from the site. Are there any others w/ these features that you would recommend?

Great site. I know a few people who have profiles there. You can also sell your art.

I would second rebubble. Also I would upload them to Flickr. I personally would not sell them on a website. I would privately sell them. You’ll make more money.

With Flickr you could get a lot more traffic and see which ones are popular then sell those.

Best of luck.

@nayeight : Sorry for not being clearer in my question – I’m not trying to sell photos of myself, lol, but photos I take of other things.

@willbrawn : I’d like to privately sell them one day, but I am not a pro photographer, just an amateur w/ a hobby. Not quite ready to commit to building my own website to do this. Question – By privately selling, how do you get traffic to your website? Is it mostly a word of mouth thing?
