I use an iPad Pro too so that's a good start! Read all of this first. You may prefer the 2nd quicker method. đź‘Ť
To create an initial set of albums: Open Photos (Landscape is probably best) Ensure that the sidebar is showing At the top of the sidebar, tap edit Scroll down so that you can see the My Albums heading If it's not open, tap the > to the right Scroll to the bottom of the album list Tap New Album and name it Tap Done at the top of the sidebar You now have your album 🙂 Repeat the New Album part as required THEN Tap on a single photo OR select multiple photos Tap the Share button Scroll down a bit Tap Add to Album Tap the album to which to add your photo(s) Done -- OR, A QUICKER WAY -- Select one or more photos Tap Share Scroll down a little Tap Add to Album Under the blank album, tap New Album... Name it Tap Save Done! To view an album’s contents: Make sure the sidebar is showing Scroll down to My Albums Tap the > to open My Albums if needed Scroll down to your album Tap it to see its contents I hope that helps. Ask me tomorrow if it's not quite clear. Finally ... when viewing a single photo, if you flick it up a little there is an area below saying Add a Caption. Type in a description of your photo. You can then search for this later in the search box. I use this all the time. Also, a reminder that Photos analyses your photos when added, so if in the search box you type celebration, parks, boats, cats, wedding, football, cars, buildings, clouds, beach, etc, etc, etc you will find it will find about 90% of your matching photos. This is built in, you don’t have to do it!
