ianskate posted:But you made it, right?! That's more important than having skill Quality over quantity in my opinion. There are plenty of dumb apps you can get that will help bolster your follower count, but if people don't care about what you are doing, I don't see the point. Typically I just post what I want to post, and follow people that I think make good or interesting work. It feels more organic that way, and when someone you respect likes or comments on a photo, it means a lot more than when some random does. Groups/magazines like humbleartsfoundation, flakphoto, aintbadmagazine, hamburgereyes, strantmagazine, thisaintartschool, and theheavycollective are all constantly showing fascinating work. Follow them, follow those they feature (if you enjoy what they do) rinse and repeat. It's gotten to the point where scrolling through Instagram is more of an inspiration machine than it is just to see what people like to eat. Not that there is anything wrong with treating it like a social media account, it is, but at the end of the day, it's also a ridiculously powerful tool for photographers who want to get their work seen especially amongst the art community. At least if you care about that sort of thing.

At least that's how Instagram "photographers" work. Which still confuses the crap out of me - there are so many horrible photographers on Instagram with 50k+ followers - how does that even happen?
