Tips for Using Twitter as a Photographer

Photography Tips

People’s tastes changes with time—this is as true on social media as anywhere. With changing times, the way users interact with social media platforms changes as well. For example, while photo content was once dominant up until a few years back, with increased internet speeds and camera quality, video rules the internet now. This is why popular photo-sharing apps like Instagram have pivoted into video, making it less appealing for photographers than it once was. So what social media platform should photographers be using in 2022? Let’s hear what Daniel Inskeep has to say:

Inskeep feels that Twitter has become the best place for photographers, and offers solid reasons to support his notion. Moreover, in the video, he also shares six tips that can help you to make the most out of Twitter as a photographer.

How Photographers Should Use Twitter in 2022

Some important reasons that Inskeep highlights include:

• Support for higher-resolution images
• Better optimization for interaction and discussion
• Tweets are not limited just appearing on followers’ timelines, but can break out and be seen more easily by people who don’t follow you

However, to make the most of these advantages on Twitter, you need to be wary of some technical and behavioral aspects. Inskeep beautifully explains those aspects in the video.

For instance, while we’d say a photo per day would be enough on Instagram, that wouldn’t suffice on Twitter. That’s because Twitter users are far more active. Similarly, while Instagram has less focus on discussion, Twitter lets you interact better with the creators and followers.

There are a lot of more beneficial insights that Inskeep shares in the video. We highly encourage you to watch the complete video. At a time where digital marketing is at its peak but Instagram isn’t helping, you don’t want to miss out.
