Your Photographer Portfolio Page: What's Actually On It

TIME&SPACE · Photographer's Edge

Every photographer account on TIME&SPACE gets a public portfolio listing the events they shot, credited only for their own photos. Here's exactly what it shows, and why organisers never get one.

Your Photographer Portfolio Page: What's Actually On It

In short: A TIME&SPACE account with the photographer account type gets a public portfolio page at timeandspace.app/p/[slug], listing every event they are credited on as a photographer. It shows only the photos that photographer personally uploaded, never another photographer's work from the same event, and never an organiser's. Each event links through to its own album, and the whole page can carry the photographer's own branding, separate from any event's.

A portfolio answers a question an event page cannot: not "what happened at this one event" but "what has this person actually shot, across all of them." That is a different page, for a different visitor, and TIME&SPACE builds it automatically from the work already on the platform rather than asking a photographer to assemble it by hand.

Who gets one

Only an account with the photographer account type gets a portfolio. An organiser account never does, even if that organiser personally performed an upload. Uploading an event's photos is not the same work as shooting them, and crediting an organiser as a photographer for it would take credit away from whoever actually held the camera. The portfolio is gated on account type for exactly that reason, and it stays gated no matter how a given account came to upload anything.

What shows, and what doesn't

The page lists every event where that photographer is a credited collaborator, filtered to events that are genuinely public: a private, draft, or unlisted event never appears, and neither does one the organiser has hidden. Within a public event, only the photos that specific photographer personally uploaded count toward their numbers. On an event shot by two photographers, each one's portfolio shows only their own frames, never the other's, so credit lands on the person who actually took the picture.

An event where all of that photographer's photos ended up matched-only or private still appears on the portfolio rather than disappearing, because the work happened whether or not the organiser chose to make those particular photos public. That card shows the event's own cover photo and a note that photos were delivered privately, linking through to the event page instead of opening an album with nothing in it.

The numbers on the page

A portfolio's header shows total events, total photos, how many of those photos are public, how many downloads they've had, and how many times a share button was tapped on them. That last figure counts taps, not confirmed shares to anywhere, so it is an upper bound on actual sharing rather than a precise count.

Branding, separate from any one event

A photographer can set their own primary colour, background, card colour, and font for their portfolio page, independent of whatever branding any single event they worked on carries. An unbranded portfolio renders with the platform's own default look, so setting branding is optional, not a requirement to have a working page.

Privacy follows one switch

A photographer's portfolio is visible or hidden by the same profile-visibility setting that controls their general account page. Turn the profile private, and the portfolio goes with it rather than staying reachable through a different address. A portfolio with no public work on it yet stays reachable, so a photographer can share the link early, but it is kept out of search results until there is at least one real public credit behind it.

The short version

/p/[slug] is a standing, automatically built record of what a photographer has actually shot on TIME&SPACE: their events, their own photos only, their own numbers, their own branding if they want it, and nothing credited to them that someone else took.
