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 :)
Exposure wise, I post mostly on IG since that’s where most of my friends/clients are on. And for the images/portfolio, I use Adobe Portfolio as it’s easy to separate images by events/races. Team and/or company specific images have their own gallery either on AP or Google photos.
I’ve tried Vero and Threads but they seem to be a little to artsy for me, I’m not to into street photography and portraits and that seems to be the majority of the content on both of those platforms.
