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.

I don't know what to do with my photography (alien.top)

I've been taking pictures for about almost 4 years. I used to uploaded on Instagram and Facebook so other people could see it. But right know with the Insta bad algorithm I'm trying to find what to do with my pictures, because I love sharing them. One option I thought was to print them and gift them, but thats a little expensive and I take too much photos. Also I was thinking on making a website for store them like a virtual gallery or maybe a blog, but I'm not sure if it worth the time.

What do you do with your photos?
And what could you recommend me to deal with this feeling?

Sorry if I'm a little vague with my feelings but its the first time I feel like that.

I have the exact same problem - I have been (casually) taking photos for 10+ years and love to share them, but never really found the "right" place to do so. I uploaded a lot of pictures to Flickr in the past, and recently started an Instagram account, but not a lot of people see them.

That's why I gradually started sharing my pictures on Reddit a couple of days ago and see where that goes. I don't think I have the energy to start a blog/website that noone except close friends ever sees.

I know that you shouldn't take photos for others but for yourself (if it's something you enjoy and it's not your job), but a little feedback and validation here and there is nice.
