To elaborate on this a bit as I was playing around with it to hide audio books from the media player...

Create a txt file on your computer and file>save as ".nomedia" without the quotes. Make sure file type is set to all files. Put that file in any folder on your phone you want to hide. I'm not sure if you can create this file directly on the phone or not. It won't prevent the phone from seeing the folder, it will just hide the files from the default media player or the gallery. Then you just need an alternate media player or picture viewer to listen to or see any files in the folder(s) with a .nomedia file in it.
