I am trying to get organized with all of the images I want to put into my portfolio and deciding which categories/pages to have.

Can someone explain to me what editorial images should be?  Could those be 'Look Book' style images?

If you're a retoucher what categories do you use for your portfolio? I know this can be different for everyone depending on what kind of retouching you do, but I just want to get some ideas and see how other people set up their portfolios.

Thanks in advance!

Keep it short. Nobody will look at more than 20-30 images and for that you don't really need categories.

I agree but also want it somewhat organized so its easy for a person to see exactly what they want to see.

Remember that category = 1 more click in site navigation. If they don't click (and in most cases they won't), they won't see what is inside. A professional who understands what he sees and who would probably be interested to hire you will evaluate the quality of your work, not its hierarchical organization, so make it straightforward.

I agree - less is more
