Do I need multiple domains?

    If I have pages on similar subject matter (photography), do I need different domains to cover different aspects of that subject matter?

    no, fit all your content on a single website. this will make it look like a developed website instead of a minisite. :)

    One site only.

    But you need to interlink them.

    At one point mini sites were great and could perform really well, less of an issue these days.

    Nah! Just include them as new pages into an exisiting site. Make sure to link them properly.

    No u do not need any extra domain for a single subject. Do make sure that you are using different pages for different subject matter.

    Only if they are in different niches. If not then build up a larger site rather than lots of smaller ones

    I would build only one site. Its much easier to optimize one site then it is multiple sites.

    The best thing you can do is create a site using wordpress and set up categories. Then you can create pages under the appropriate category and fill out your site over time. That will help you create an authoritative site instead of a mini-site.
