- These three things really held my photography back, so hopefully, now they won't hold you back.

He has gone and got the Skilshare sponsorship 🔥 loving the video as always. I always feel a little bad for not keeping up with what instagram wants and this helped.
Thanks Matt! Long time coming 😵💫, hopefully I can make better and better videos from now on 🔥
Just take the shot and see what you get.
3:55 I see you as the aspiring artist. You got this bra. Fun to see how you come along. (: big up yourself m8!
Really good video and makes me think twice about why I’m actually doing this again. Thanks!
Spot on regarding aquiring expensive gear and not taking time to develop skills first!
These are excellent tips, especially on appeasing Instagram and social media. I find I get much more out of buying and browsing through actual photobooks - these feel like they have more character compared to, as you said, the same templated “this pleases the algorithm” shots.
Yo Thomas, I’d honestly say that buying and reading actual photo books is one of the best ways to get out (and stay out), of a creative slump. Photographers can truly express themselves through photobooks and the viewer can be inspired for sure! Cheers man
I just take my photos and lock them away on my NAS.
I CBA with socials
Put them on your walls. Lowest point of entry for me was making a wall calendar from the photos from the previous year, one per month taken on that month. When you see your photo after a year you will be pleasantly surprised. After the year is over you can cut the pictures off the calendar and pin them up, use them as bookmarks or anything.
@@cabbelos I have 4 in my entrance corridor. 1 for the best photo I've taken each season.
Eventually I'll actually have good photos in there 😅
Good video and I agree with you on all but the Instagram point. I think the reason Instagram isn’t as good for photography is strictly us photographers faults. Photographers are EXTREMELY “stingy” with follows/likes/DMs because they want to make their page look “good” by not following a ton of people and yet still expect to have a bunch of followers/people following. Why are we not following nearly everyone that is a real account? Especially fellow photographers accounts. There needs to be much more genuine interactions. Like trying to follow nearly every real (not a bot or AI) photographer and do our best to interact with likes/follows/DMs… it’s a photography *Community* and we are all part of it in the big picture. Building up the community and doing all what we can l to let it grow should be first even in regards to Instagram
Just my two cents
this, i followed a few othe photographers and it seems like they dont follow back and keep a low following count
