Is your photography page personal, as in pictures of you, things about you, or etc, or is it impersonal; mostly anonymous, just your pictures, not much information about the actual photographer(you).
I ask because I can see benefits and disadvantages to both and I’m wondering what is better.
Having a personal page let’s people get to know and get closer to the photographer which is good if you want to shoot people for example
Making it impersonal just tells one about your photos which is great too, and affords you privacy.
At first I thought you were talking about your website because it doesn’t say differently in your post. I saw in a comment that you are talking about Instagram. Instagram is not my “photography page”.
I have a picture of myself on the contact page of my website. I don’t really use Instagram anymore but when I did, it was split pretty evenly between architecture which I do professionally, landscape which I do for fun, and pictures of my city which I do both for fun & work. I would post behind the scenes type pictures of me getting the shots. A lot of people used to approach me because they recognized me from IG. I never posted anything about my personal life.
right, same here. IMHO that needs to be there, but no more than that.
