Thanks for the love, Lauren. It’s mutual! I’ve depend on PhotoShelter to house my online photo archives and they’ve never let me down. They’ve saved my bacon many times over when I’ve been on the road an an editor needs a photo two minutes ago…

I learned a lesson a few years back, when the IT department a a major magazine routinely cleared off their FTP servers before my editor could download the HiRes final selects from a shoot. After that I started posting all my shoots to private password-protected archive galleries on PhotoShelter – ensuring they are always there. Then once the shoot is published I can make the gallery visible with one click.
