Your photography portfolio is your most powerful marketing tool. But did you know that how you display your work on your website could be the reason potential clients aren’t booking you?
By gallery, do you mean a gallery for each photo series or photo category? I’ve divided my website gallery into 4 categories - beauty, fashion, swim and personal branding/ portraiture
Should I just be limiting each category to 15 images max?
Good question. So for you, you would have Beauty Gallery 1, Beauty Gallery 2 if you have more pictures. If you only want to have one gallery, then have one gallery. Let's assume you have one gallery. You should have a total of 15 images for Beauty, 15 for fashion, 15 for portrait, and 15 for branding.
Solid advice, but with a caveat - when you sell prints (not probably your market, lol), it's a harder decision point because I often find the images that I'm willing to cull are the ones people are buying. It's maddening =)

Great post here Walid!!!!
Good question. Maybe I'll make a video/blog post because I don't think you're the only one.
