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.

I'm a hobbyist who enjoys street and landscape photography, and after getting diminishing returns and burn out by posting on Instagram, my photos started amassing in my lightroom library - never to be seen by anyone! I have a website (Adobe Portfolio), but I rarely use it, and it doesn't bring me that much joy.

I recently came across Substack, which is a newsletter/blog type website where you can create long form content, and in my case, photo essays and commentary. This has been a really satisfying alternative to posting on social media - I enjoy writing and it feels like I'm putting more intention behind my work. I think Substack will take off, and I enjoy the niche community of photographers on it.

How are you sharing your photos these days? And, if you're not, why not? What do you think the future is for sharing photography?

And if you're a Substacker already - I'd love to follow you! If this subreddit allows it, drop your Substack below :)

I invite all my friends over then we watch a powerpoint presentation of my monthly slides.

When I pause awkwardly, they know it’s time to clap. Then I switch to the next slide.

I should try this. Do you also lock the doors?

This made me unreasonably happy, lol. It also gave me flashbacks to my grandparents getting out the projector to show old family movies

It's hilarious țhe way you say it, but the slide projector photo evenings were pretty common in my childhood to look back at past vacations

How about discreetly putting the slideshow on in the background then getting angry when no one spontaneously compliments a picture
