Absolutely protecting ones art is very difficult, especially when you open it up to the online world. I appreciate the information you provide. Heck I find it hard to even protect my work when its not online!!

@Tiiu - Protecting your photography online can be a bit tricky, but there are some steps you can take to make stealing your photos a bit more difficult. Check out this article http://www.layersmagazine.com/protecting-whats-yours.html by Layers Magazine. That's a good starting place.

I find this information valuable because I am new to presenting my work online. I have been a freelance photographer for many years but moreso as a hobby. Now I want to set up an online portfolio to find work and raise funds for AIDS orphans, so that I can go on another mission to Cameroon. So my big question is if I make an online portfolio how do I protect my images. For those of you who are interested you can find some of my pictures on my website focus4africa.org. I would like feedback please. I am a rookie web designer. It happened when the guy I hired left town and me hanging with a partial website. thanks for any feedback. .-= Tiiu Napp´s last blog ..Focus 4 Africa =-.

I appreciate your advice, thank you. I am creating a type of portfolio of my work as an educator and because the field is so broad that I do need to keep focused on my mission statement. It is becoming a good resource also. Maria Magkou´s last post was... Preschool Trends for Children of Immigrants

Good suggestions. I agree, keeping design clean & simple will allow visitors an enjoyable tour of your work…rather than a frustrating, navigational experience. You want them to remember the work, not the fact that they had to wait for bloated, over-designed pages to load. I always use physical gallery spaces as inspiration for my website galleries: keep ‘em clean, white and simple.

Thanks for the tips, I’m creating my portfolio. Though it’s probably going to take me forever because I’m too darn busy :P
