The NextGen Gallery by Photocrati is a 3rd party image gallery plugin that we use quite a bit to display images that a customer wants to show on their website. What makes NGG so unique and popular is its ease of use when it comes to organizing your images.
NGG works with a hierarchy of albums, galleries & images. Images are categorized into galleries and those galleries can stand alone or be organized into albums.
Here’s an analogy: You have a several photo albums sitting on your coffee table. One photo album is labeled “Kids Early Years”, another is “Vacations – 2000-2010”. Assuming you don’t just throw pictures randomly on a page, you would organize the photos into sections or galleries:

You might even pick out your favorite descriptive picture of that section and feature it at the beginning of that section.
