Organize your photos in folders, select a path and display these photos with any gallery shortcode.
<h3>Howto</h3>
<ul>
<li>Organize your photos in directories. Store the photos for each album in a subdirectory in the WordPress upload directory. You can use a <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/media+library+folder/" rel="ugc">plugin</a> to do this.</li>
<li>Import these photos to the Media Library. Maybe your plugin has this function too.</li>
<li>I use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulk-media-register/" rel="ugc">Bulk Media Register</a> to import the photos to the Media Library, which I uploaded before with sftp.</li>
<li>Use the default <code>gallery</code> shortcode or install a plugin to display photos from Media Library, which has a shortcode for this, for example <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/photonic/" rel="ugc">Photonic Gallery & Lightbox for Flickr, SmugMug & Others</a>.</li>
<li>Configure the name of this shortcode (default <code>gallery</code>) and the list option (default <code>ids</code>) in admin backend.</li>
<li>Write your shortcode as usual, omit the list option and use an extra option <code>path</code>.</li>
<li><code>path</code> is a substring of the directory path, for example <code>holidays25/day1</code>.</li>
</ul>
