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'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.

First thing to understand and remember, is NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY !!!, but hangon, that doesn't mean you cannot get people to admire it. However to do that, you need a more unique style and subject matter that is not seen as often. Everyone with a phone is taking photos, so you need to ability to stand out of the crowd, and the crowd these days is EVEYONE. It takes time and more time, to find your unique ability to portray things in a visual manner that gets attention.
