Do you need a photo website?

Do you really need a photography website? I have one and over the years I have moved from service to service but do we really need one? If you have a site how much traffic does it get? Do you even know or care? The service I currently use is part of my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription except that I pay for a custom domain name. It’s been a long time since I have run analytics on my photography website so I also don’t know the answer to the questions I just asked about my own site.

For me, I may not need a photography website but rather I want one. It allows me the ability to quickly direct people who may ask about my photography. I’ve been approached by strangers on the street while I have been out with cameras and asked about my photography so I keep a personal business card with my website address. I also have acquired somewhat of a following albeit not large. I believe a website is important because it is the whole point of photography to show others the world around us and how we see it. If you don’t have a website you may consider getting one. Showcase your work you may find there are those out there who want to see what you do and you just may inspire someone.
