Albums, notifications, search & more
Hey there, David here with PortraitMode. In this post I’d like to highlight all the new features that we have added to PortraitMode. Let’s dive right in 🙂
🔔 Notifications
You might have noticed the little bell icon next to your profile. This is where all your notifications will now show up. Whenever someone comments on your photo, likes your photo, tags or follows you, you will now get a notification. That makes it much easier to follow along and engage with other artists on the platform.
🖼️ Albums
You can now categorize your photos in albums! This is a feature we have been working on for quite a while and I’m happy to let you know that it is now available. There is a plus icon on your profile page which allows you to add a new album. To assign a photo to an album, simply right click the photo and assign it to your album of choice.
🔍 Search
You can now search for artists and photos on PortraitMode. This is useful if you are looking for photos shot with a specific camera or at a specific location.
✍️ Descriptions
It is now possible to add descriptions to your photos. A simple but useful feature to give your photos more context.
🚀 Performance
We have drastically improved the performance of the platform. Things should feel much snappier now. This is most noticable on the Artists page but basically all areas of the site has been improved.
🤝 Wrapping Up
And that’s it! Thank you for your ongoing support. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know down below in the comments.

Thanks for the clear and concise update!
It sounds awesome! Thanks <3
Can we post multiple photos at once? (Not as albums)
That’s not currently possible unfortunately.
David can we add a Category for Street Parade/Festival?
Also, Bell notification is great but can it be linked to the photo liked, so we know which photo is viewed the most and know what we are doing is appreciated or ignored?
Hey @davidinsg,
I added Parade & Festival as a category. The notifications should already link to the photo in question though.
Thanks for update!
Great news, David! (digi.cam.diary from Digi-Discord)
Great news,
the site feels definitely more responsive and faster overall.
Thanks for the updates.
The possibility to upload small series would be very nice.
Maybe 5-10 pictures
I totally agree! That’s on our list as well as a “Story”-like feature.
We’ll get to those features once the app has been released 🙂
I really like the improvements :=)
Thank you, @ignatius_foto! 🙂
Thank you David I am loving this community.

I SIMPLY LOVE this forum. I was a fan of Instagram for a decade NOT anymore 🙏 Thank You for making this brilliant PHOTOGRAPHY Platform to share with like minded people. Soon to become a member. Thank You Bhavna xx
Nice! I like how the website and the phone app is so lightweight and works very well on old devices. Please keep it this way!
