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.

How are you sharing your photography these days? (alien.top)

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 do it full-time and use Shootproof to deliver to clients. Slick gallery, emails, and integrated cart that works well. I also use it to archive past shoots as it's very cheap.
