10 WordPress plugins for photographers by Nancy Young
It is very easy for an unprepared person to get lost in the ocean of WordPress plugins. There are more than 36 thousand of their varieties, but even taking into account the narrow specialization of these site design assistants, the question of the most useful and functional of them remains open.
Today we are going to share 10 of the best photo plugins.
EWWW Image Optimizer
A popular WordPress plugin that allows you to manipulate the size of images on your site, making your pages load faster. There is an opportunity to optimize existing images. Works better with * .jpeg and * .png formats.
SumoMe
Plugin for website promotion. Facilitates the sharing of text and images on social networks, as well as the registration and subscription processes. All this, in turn, has a good effect on the recognition of the resource and traffic indicators.
WP / LR Sync
A service for publishing photos directly from Lightroom. Allows you to sync images with WordPress. This feature will be especially useful for those who need the ability to make changes after the fact, for example, change the watermark.
SEO Friendly Images
Not everyone has enough time to manually assign attributes to images uploaded to the site. Fortunately, the SEO Friendly Images plugin is able to do this automatically, thus increasing traffic. I switched it on and forgot.
MotoPress
This plugin opens up new opportunities for website owners for the visual design of pages. You can manipulate interface elements with it simply by dragging and dropping them. No knowledge of code or even HTML.

The default WordPress photo gallery is great, but if you want the best, you need some extra tools. In addition to an extensive gallery, the plugin offers the ability to apply watermarks, view thumbnails, and generally make working with images more enjoyable.
