Photography

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Have you found success with limited or non existent engagement with social media? (alien.top)

I know “success” can be defined broadly and can vary by field… but I would like to hear your story, how you utilize it if you utilize social media and your results with either case.

I deleted my instagram a while back and don’t like to use Facebook… however I made a new IG and (I know it’s not a place for photography anymore) I’m realizing I still don’t care for it. I enjoyed Flickr a while back but I tried logging in and it is becoming a hassle (I’ll have to make a new email and profile for some reason).

I would rather have a personal website and use IRL interactions for business. I’m happy with Posting on the website itself for showcase and make prints for personal enjoyment… I wouldn’t mind exploring another option if one comes up that is decent.

Anyways, how has your art and business evolved for you online?

95% of my jobs have come from referrals. People I used to work with went on to other companies and they need my services. Those are usually the clients with budget. There are the one off brands that do a shoot here and there but like any business it’s who you know.

It pays to be personal and provide good service! Thanks for chiming in.
