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.

Do you share pictures of yourself and get personal on your photography page? (alien.top)

Is your photography page personal, as in pictures of you, things about you, or etc, or is it impersonal; mostly anonymous, just your pictures, not much information about the actual photographer(you).

I ask because I can see benefits and disadvantages to both and I’m wondering what is better.

Having a personal page let’s people get to know and get closer to the photographer which is good if you want to shoot people for example

Making it impersonal just tells one about your photos which is great too, and affords you privacy.

i do like 90/10. i mostly share personal stuff on to instagram stories (like me on location or me meeting a cute dog or me and my 13 ounce bone in rib eye) , and post my work (portraits, bts, campaigns, etc) on the feed. however i will throw photos of myself in with my work if i'm doing like a 10 photo swipe post. usually its me and the model on set or its a bts of me shooting the model that my assistant takes for me. just makes you more personable and allows potential clients to see who they are hiring besides the actual work. i get a lot of work from instagram and a lot of the times they say "its good to see you're not a weirdo before actually meeting you" or things of that nature. since i shoot a lot of boudoir type stuff for onlyfans or playboy models.
