A collection is an optional way to organise your photos within Photohawk. Collections help you group and categorise your images inside a gallery for easier management and presentation.
What Is a Collection?
A collection exists inside a gallery. Think of a gallery as the overall project or event, and collections as the folders or categories that sit within it.
Each gallery automatically includes a Default collection, which is where your photos will go if you don’t specify another collection.
Creating and Managing Collections
You can create additional collections at any time to organise your photos in a way that suits your needs.
For example:
A sports photographer might have collections such as “Start Line” and “Finish Line”.
A wedding photographer could create collections like “Ceremony”, “Reception”, and “Portraits”.
To create a new collection:
Open your gallery.
Select Add Collection.
Name your new collection and start uploading photos.
Why Use Collections?
Collections make it easier to:
Keep related photos together.
Manage and find specific shots quickly.
Apply settings (such as pricing or visibility) to certain photo groups.
By organising your work into collections, you maintain structure within your galleries— making navigation simple for both you and your clients.
