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.

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 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

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.

This was very, very useful. Thanks for giving those invaluable tips. I also like your well modulated voice rather than the common over-hyped ‘breakfast DJ on commercial radio’ style. Finally, congratulations on not saying ‘Smash that Subscribe button!’ For that alone, I subbed!

This was awesome. It’s been frustrating watching IG turn it’s back on the community that utilized it so well. I didn’t have a massive following but it sucks. Recently started a twitter page for my modeling photography and even the early engagement feel much better

I knew it! I knew Instagram is already dead since 2019, and I have a feeling that twitter is the next official, proper platform.

Twitter is where it's at. Much higher resolution and you aren't forced to use white borders to fit a 2:3 image into a 4:5 rectangle.

I hate this because I hate twitter so much like to me its just a headache and the arguments and whatever that happen on there even when I dont even follow people is annoying. Ive resigned myself to loosing al social media at this point, instagram and youtube were the only ones i cared about at this point

i started blogging 20 years ago, when I was just a teen. So when twitter came around, I had that app as something only teens would do - probably like older people's idea of blogging, when that came around. Never really liked twitter. 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
@linjicakonikon76662 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
@anima60352 жыл бұрын
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.
@anima60352 жыл бұрын
@@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.

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!
