As a part of my photography degree I decided to create an Instagram account to showcase all my images before I had a website. I also created a Facebook and LinkedIn. Having social media is so important in this day and age as a way of advertising your work.
I created my photography Instagram when I was in college so I have a lot of images on there from a while ago. I like how it is a lot more laid back than a website and I am able to post a lot more of my images than I put on my website. For example, I pick the best out of my images to put on my website. Whereas, on Instagram I post them all. I also like how Instagram is like a timeline, my images gradually get better and more defined the higher up my page you get. This is what my Instagram page looks like :
I only recently got facebook, to link to my website as another way of people contacting me. I think having as many social medias as I can is the best option, so that I can reach all age ranges and different groups of people. Facebook may also have a lot more potential clients I can work with than Instagram.
LinkedIn is a lot more professional than Instagram and Facebook. It allows me to connect with professionals and other people in my area of work. It can help me get a job or with my career development. My page is almost like an online CV and a place to list all my skills and knowledge.
Having social media has enabled me to make professional links, showcase my work and even collaborate with people I meet online.
