First, let me stress that I am new to the "business" side of photography. I've recently had opportunity to photograph several events -- a friend's wedding, a community theatre rehersal and show, etc...
I'd like to present these groups of pictures online for my clients, but I would prefer to restrict access to certain lists of people. For example, only the bride and groom for the wedding shoot; only the director and principal actors for the theatre shoot, and so forth.
I haven't found much discussion regarding the levels of protection or security provided by the various online photo services -- i.e. account/password requirements and so forth. I've poked around several FAQs and how-tos for the more popular sites and found very little info.
So, for those with a some more experience in the world of professional photography, how do you handle privacy or protection of your galleries online? Do you completely forgo the online print services and stash them under your own web sites? Which online services do you use, and what sort of protection or privacy settings do you make use of for shoots you want to restrict from the general public's eye?
Thanks - Chuck
