[Feature] private photos in publicly shared album

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

I would like to see if there is a possibility to select some photos within an album to be hidden from public users (shared through link). My use case is I have a lot of photos for an event and would like to share those back to all involved, but within those, there are a small amount that are private to my small friend group, containing silly photos and similar, and we would like to hide those photos from the public.

we have considered:

• creating a new album with only publicly viewable photos, but we would like them to also upload photos which will then be difficult to manage with two albums for one event
• Move private photos to locked album, but will not be available in the event album anymore (cannot be seen when we browse the event album)

My ideas:

• allow users to select photos as private, and if the album is opened through a public link, photos with that property will not be viewable
• allow adding tags to a batch of photos, and include a property when creating a public sharing link to hide photos with specific tags

Hope that my description is clear. Thanks in advance.

This would get pretty fiddly. I would suggest you just create two albums, and ask your friends to upload to the correct one.
