What is the best photo storage site for professional photographers?
Wbornio asked:
Some years back, my friend was an excellent film weddign photographer. She had a complete set of Minolta cameras, lenses, flashes and accessories. I have recently purchased for her a Sony Alpha digital body and all her accessories work well and she’s ready fo rher first digital gig. I know there must be many online storage options for publishing and sharing and presenting her images to her clients offering competitive pricing on prints and photo albums and such… was wondering If any professional digital photographers can shed some light on what might be the best site(s) to consider. Thanks!

I am NOT a pro, but I use the pro version of Flickr. You can look at my photos and also use this as a springboard into the rest of the site, where you will find thousands of awesome professional photos.
I ordered some prints from Flickr just to see how they were. They are of extremely high quality and the price seemed reasonable. I didn’t order enough to get any volume discounts, either. I took the index print and ran it under water. Then I rubbed it with my fingers and then I dried it off with a towel. Once it dried, you could not tell that anything ever happened to the print. I am extremely impresed.
Pros usually do not store their images on the Internet. They make three CD’s of each shoot. One goes to the client, one stays in the office in a fire proof safe and the other one goes home … into a fire proof safe;
We do have some of our images posted on the Internet, but they are very low resolution and cannot be used in any commercial way.
Loading a few thousand 4MB and larger files to a storage area on the Internet would take far too much time. If you attempted to store RAW images, the time to upload would become ludicrous.
Using a business website for your client to visit to check out images from their event and order from those images is done all the time. But the originals are never housed there.
