Photographers delight

As a photographer, you concentrate on your photos and for the majority, I am guessing they use Lightroom to organize and optimize their photos. So why not use the tool of your choice to even publish your photos to your WordPress Media Library? Together with the Meow Gallery (separate plugin!), I am able to manage my entire portfolio on my WP site. I simply use the LR publishing service and collections, to decide which photo, with what caption and tags it should appear where. In order to do this, next to Photo Engine, you need the WP/LR Sync add-on. The combination saves so much time, as there is no need to go to WP to upload images. If I want to remove, add or update an image, I can do this from within Lightroom. Even without the additional sync feature, Photo Engine allows me to organize my photos and media that are not coming from LR. The option to do this is through folders and collections directly in the WP media organizer. Photo Engine uses the photo keyword tags that then can be used from within Meow Gallery, the Photo Engine Extensions, or if enabled at the settings, as WP taxonomy, which means the keywords are written to the media library, similar to tags available for posts. There are many other features like the advanced usage of an API or consolidating all or just selected WP media with Lightroom (again the WP/LR Sync add-on is required). And the best thing at all is it is super easy to use! You definitely want this plugin in combo with the WP/LR Plugin if you want instant updates to your portfolio or galleries by just using Lightroom.
