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 :)
Threads seems ok so far and has lot of potential but you need to put in work.
FB just local groups will give you best views just need thick skin as your finely crafted landscape photo you got up at 3am and traveled a couple hours to the location will get 1000’s of views less then a blurry sunset/rainbow/snow photo from a phone.
Flickr eh mostly just use to to get my name in search engines.
My own website
Reddit group local to my area is not bad.
