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.

When I started to post photos of models and landscapes, I used my own profile in Facebook. I just used dedicated albums for each subject.

But I early noticed it wasn't very good in the end, for the client side (as if I had a client side back then).

So I knew about Facebook pages and created one. Now, I only post "work" in my page, nothing really personal. Maybe a few selfies here and there, when someone catches me shooting or so.

I prefer to split it up and have the possibility to share links and photos between my page and my personal profile when I want to.
