I need to be honest here and I don't think Twitter will be the next platform for photographers, nor does it appeal to me personally. I think it's time for an IG contender - what IG was back in the old days. Healthy algorithm, reach, no excessive advertisement crap, no heavy focus on videos. Tiktok came out of nowhere, so I'm still hoping someone somewhere will come out with a new platform for photographers / artists / creators.

Pixelfed is dropping their iOS app soon. Basically a stripped down version of instagram with chronological feed, no ads, no reels, open source, private.

Just photos with friends and family

[@IreneRudnyk]

Yes yes yes! I just compared my current reach on recent posts on twitter and Instagram and I was shocked! I had more reach on my 5.8k twitter account then on my 340k Instagram. Mind blown.

Do you think you guys, as some of the more notable photography influencers, could have any influence on Instagrams policies?

[@horacioevelazquez3250]

Let's be realistic. We are left without a serious platform for photographers. Instagram is only looking for a lot of money and trends, which is why it has abandoned the community of photographers. Twitter, I've never been very sure about them but they remain constant. I'm still very sad, photography and short videos are two very opposite worlds.

[@anima6035]

I agree, Twitter doesn't appeal to me at all, I don't really want to write or talk to people.. I just want to share my images lol. Instagram allows me to post like that, I often have no caption at all and the images seem to do fine, if I want to talk to someone then there's DMs but it's not forced.

[@MrPod]

You do have a serious platform for photographers, it's Flickr, it's been for years. I came back to my account and it was so refreshing, theres a community, groups about topics or help, quality uploads, there isn't the constant need to share content daily or to do stories. It's less social yes, but more community, people can still like your photos and leave comments.

I'm going to go against the tide here and say that social media has killed photography. It is an endless soul less stream, a glut of images, ad nauseam. I am lucky enough to have my own gallery, it's small with not a lot of traffic but it's very gratifying to be able to show my work in real life. Real prints, real books, real cards, real conversations. People will never be able to walk into my gallery and say, oh I saw that photo on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. I'll go one step farther and say that social media has just about destroyed our society. People don't even talk to each other anymore.

I do still believe that Instagram's authorities need to be pushed & protested against of by the many photographers who inhabit the app. Picking other apps like Twitter is like starting all over again and there's also the fact that twitter is a micro-blogging site not a photography oriented site. So, i request big photographers like you start a campaign or movement or reform against the hostility of Instagram. We can do it!

[@TasteofTaboo]

might be different in the US but in Germany Twitter is not used by normal people. Instagram is the only platform in Germany with "normal" people who might become a photo client. Twitter here is only used by people who are politic nerds and journalists. Even Linkedin would make more sense here. But you still can make business here with a good portfolio website - something that most of the younger photographers totally missing. Btw. I love Twitter and use it a lot since forever.

I literally left the app after 15 minutes scrolling through that shit. Anyways, there's my story.

But that's social media, why does everyone forget about being found on Google, don't you want to get hired?

I am fairly active on photography Twitter and would definitely recommend not posting any hashtags it looks really tacky and people don't really like it.

Definitely reply to people and interact, join group chats as well and try to make genuine friends that is the best way to go about photo Twitter. Its a very different community than Instagram

[@jerriwhitephoto]

I also want to point out that Instagram seems to enable people with huge followings or a celeb status to post more explicit content, yet I barely show someone’s back crack in an image and get reported and shadowbanned. Moreover, the amount of spam messages is out of control. And as much as they sure love to crack down on photographers who shoot nude/ boudoir, they don’t seem to take as much action against adults grooming children, following kids pages and writing how some teen is beautiful (and even more disturbing things) Instagram is trash but venturing out to more socials in order to gain recognition is such a pain but what else can we do? I think we need to maybe focus less on scoring in the digital verse and work on getting published, having exhibitions and building a fan base IRL

[@ajbarrett3661]

I definitely agree but would add that Twitter is a good compliment. I'm in the world of sports and so many people use Twitter but also Instagram. My goal is to shoot for an NFL team and over the past year I've built up a great connection with many professional sports photogs on instagram and twitter. I would say that the majority who have been in the industry for a while use IG primarily, where the younger crowd uses both IG and twitter. But at the end of the day it comes down to what your peers use the most. I've gotten more interaction through twitter from athletes re-tweeting my content but have found more success networking and getting my images seen/appreciated by those currently in the positions i seek through IG, and at the end of the day those people are the ones looking to hire and will know me from my work. But BOTH are so crucial, just depends if you care more about everyone seeing your stuff or a smaller group.

I liked instagram (the modern fotolog) better, but just when I learnt its great funcionalities, I stopped posting. Hello you.

honestly photography in general has become so saturated and visual art has been pushed so much to its limits it is all extremely underwhelming. not many photos are impressive anymore

[@linjicakonikon7666]

Photo books are the best alternative. Own your own books that can inspire. Instagram is a visual asylum. Interaction with people is hazardous to your health.

[@cameronh338]

Agreed; I even feel like that about my own work. I'm either gonna consider Twitter or focus on things outside of photography/visuals for a while.

[@anima6035]

I so agree! I recently realised that out of hundreds of photographers I follow I'm only truly impressed by maybe 2 or 3. Another commenter here said they feel reels etc have led photographers away from creative image making and instead they are fulfilling requirements/meeting expectations in order to keep up with the group and the algorithm. I feel like that is very true. Another thing I have noticed, and perhaps this isn't something new, is the weird subculture of copying and even straight up stealing images on Instagram... Also not really conducive to creativity imo.

@@cameronh338 dont give up! But focusing on other things is a good idea in my opinion. Art and the human brain are so weird, we are learning even when we don't realise it! "Extracurricular" activities can only broaden our scope and deepen our thought processes.

I feel like that's most things now. We see the best of everything on the internet... I play guitar and it's honestly so boring now. Everyone can play well. From age 6-60 yrs. It use to be a spectacle to see great players back in the day because the space was so narrow.

Pls what should be the Lightroom export settings for pictures you wanna post on Twitter. Since we won't be dealing with 1080X1080 for Instagram again

[@Vega.pdf35mm]

Twitter seems so limited compared to instagram but then instagram crops your photos so it’s limited in that sense

[@pmsmartins]

Really insightful video, thanks for that!

[@GaelyneGasson]

Great video and I think a lot of your content fits for anyone using Twitter. I'm not a photographer, but over the last few years I've used Instagram to upload my regular ordinary day photos with a very personal description with it. The pics get uploaded automatically to my Facebook feed and via IFTTT to Twitter. I have found I've had much more traction with Twitter in the last six months, some that's really surprised me. You've gained a subscriber and follower!

[@obriennyc]

Great, useful video. Any advice for those of us who post photos to Twitter from Wordpress?

[@Olivia-tn6kd]

I've used Instagram for my photography since the beginning... this makes me sad

[@Outdoorshots77]
