It’s a real work (pain ?) to add keywords to images, and being lazy by essence, it took me a while to make it part of my import process.
Initially, I added general information as keywords (location, people names, type of event, etc…).
However, as my photo library was growing, I realized I was often looking for images that could be grouped together into series. So I started to use keywords to actually describe the image in a searchable manner , in particular its remarkable attributes/items (main or dominant color, shapes, low or high key, sea, cloud, sky, snow, season, etc…
It’s still a work in progress (and it will always be I think), but it allows to explore your own work in a different manner 🙂
