How To Get More Views On Instagram Reels As A Photographer!

[@eokorie.photography]

I'm actually toying with the idea of creating my first reel. So this video is definitely going to push me to do that. Cheers for the great content! 👍

This actually gave me some hope for Instagram cause I've been in struggle with it since photos started to get less engagement since Instagram is no longer photo sharing app :D So thanks for this video :-)

[@mattlau]

That's been so frustrating. Back in 2017-2019, good photos got engagement, but now it's like TikTok

@@mattlau true that

Super helpful! I'll be keeping this in mind for my future content!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

That's awesome!

[@nicolasvalenciasierra1455]

I like your idea for turning stories into reels! definitely going to be using that tip, thank you!

[@hmn4466]

Ok. I am convinced. Thank you!

[@luisfranciscocuniberti71]

Great point of view of what reels are. The thing that reels could be used as story’s is awesome! Thanks for the tip bro!

[@summernightmusicc]

Thank you for tips!

[@sacrificeofpraise1]

So helpful, thank you! Just discovered reels and I'm totally lacking in the tech aspect, unlike you guys, being a 61-year old Nanna. But oh my, enjoying the beauty of nature, sharing it and stories and cooking etc.? A whole new world (ahem, sorry 😄)! Keep up the good work, it's so refreshing to hear straight info.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Ah that’s great! You should find lots of useful stuff here!

[@AndyGrowsFood]

This is yet another really awesome video. Love that you say how important it is to enjoy making reels. That’s something that, personally, I sometimes forget. Thanks so much!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks mate

[@juliekmunden]

Great stuff!

[@PJBros]

Superb Tips. Very useful... 👍🏻

[@jayteknica1175]

I wish I didn’t hate video work. I can never come up with a video concept let alone execute it 😂

[@rosyaugust7095]

Thanks for sharing great tips. As always loved your content

[@DJDelGrande]

I can't agree more that the process of enjoying making some short videos is key. Although I'm not as focused on IG reels, I started a KZbin channel a few weeks before the platform changes on IG. I couldn't be happier making fun, movie-like vids on KZbin. That process of experimenting and expanding how I'm communicating is a blast! Thx for the insight, as always.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Yeah man, KZbin is by far the funnest platform. Also the reason I haven’t gone really deep into reels.

[@DJDelGrande]

@@ItsJonnyKeeley to date, I still don't enjoy the portrait format. And as someone who loves the cinema, on KZbin I get to play with that format.

[@innazaytsevaphoto]

That is exactly what I was curious to see! thank you, Jonny! greetings from Munich

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks for watching Inna!

[@fotosbyblaze]

Good one

[@bogustafsson387]

What about slideshows uploaded as reels, with zoom and transitions? Would there be any issues?

[@tgc.joshua]

At 1:28 what app do you use to edit your photos. I would really like to know. Appreciate your time 🙏🏽

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Hey 👋 Adobe Lightroom.

[@tgc.joshua]

@@ItsJonnyKeeley Appreciate it 🙏🏽

[@tamasdebreczeni5335]

The hack, real gear wow. Nice jobb

[@Salim-si6gg]

Hello Johnny, I’ve been having hard time with Reels. Not sure why but it could be because I’m only uploading pictures as a video? My views are extremely low. I also noticed that Instagram compress the quality like a mad man. Is there any solution to this ? Thank you

[@twinkie1773]

I'm a photographer and I have a clothing called SummerOf96. I started making reel episodes called SummerOf96, it about bts when I'm working on set, running errands for my clothing line, going over old gears. Most importantly I started enjoying it and staying myself, because I'm always being goofy. I was scared at first but now I say go for it! We got this 💪🏿 🐺

[@49sixteen]

I REELy enjoyed this video!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

For reel dude? That’s awesome!

[@Fifthimagez]

This was vary helpful it has been a struggle 🙏🏾

[@samevans7753]

love your work brother...

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks buddy

[@geeshanbandaraphotographer3925]

How can I access reels if it's not yet in my country/region?

[@divyanshsagar]

Hey ! when is your accounts review video coming out

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Will be a week or two I think

[@SolaSly]

I'll just use my Story archive to create my next reels. Thanks for the top tip

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

That's a good idea mate!

[@ramanbogal85]

Superb 👌👌.. love from India ❣️❣️

[@TheMortzCanberra]

I did one for fun and relevant to my general location / place i take photos - it blew up after 2 weeks of being posted to 15k views and I gained 100 followers. It's odd - another reel of mine blew up 3 weeks after I originally posted it

[@ShootingStars808]

Okay.......I'm listening.....

[@IliasKoureas]

Would be usefull if reels were available in Greece :)

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

That's usually a music licensing thing and IG are working on it (I hear)

[@IliasKoureas]

@@ItsJonnyKeeley they are taking their time with it 😂

[@koosekoose12]

i jus have no clue what to post i don’t have ideas and that’s what bothers me and makes me not want to start making videos bc it’ll lead me to being inconsistent

[@awadramy1]

Why did instagram block my reel rather than just mute my music?

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Yeah that's super annoying, happened to my partner 3 times in a row.

[@awadramy1]

@@ItsJonnyKeeley do u think im shadow banned now? My reel was blocked because I used music from a editing app. I want to post another reel soon.

[@fabianbloch]

Me as a photographer grew from 4k to 23k almost only with reels haha

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Yeah man! Sounds like you nailed it!

[@marktomphotography]

Anybody else distracted by the lack of rear lens cap on the 70-200mm lens? :) What that on purpose? ;)

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

My lenses spend most of the their time without caps on.

[@marktomphotography]

@@ItsJonnyKeeley interesting. And no noticeable dust and debris? Or do you clean frequently? I recently got my first noticeable scratch on my 24-70 shooting an event. Of course it was the one lens that didn't have a UV filter to protect it. :(

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

@@marktomphotography Compared to what my lenses go through shooting outdoors being sat capless in my studio is nothing. I have a go hard or go home approach to all my gear. I wouldn't worry too much those tiny scratches don't really make a hug difference. I even bought that 70-200 knowing it had a few scratches on the glass.

[@stefpix]

I am so sick of vertical videos. Can reels be in horizontal mode, even if letterboxed? Are people too lazy to turn their phones? How to end this vertical video madness?

[@Artist1974CH]

I hope you all do a Reel videos about how you all seeking for success while the world is falling apart.

[@LanNinja11]

Reels? Please just don’t. They are worthless. I hate seeing them in my feed.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

They aren't worthless, but I respect you aren't a fan.

[@ruwanlopes382]

I'm a photographer and I think fxck reels
