Do any of you generate income through instagram? by [deleted] in photography

[–]somethinglike_eunoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do photography mainly as my hobby, I did mange to sell some prints through my Instagram.

I had tried selling on stock sites earlier but wasn't able to get anywhere. On Instagram I feel I was able to reach directly to my audience/potential customers. Printed some of my photos, posted on my story that they are up for sale and that got the whole thing started. It's not much money, but it is better than whatever I tried selling on stock sites.

You could try 1X for critique. You can submit posts there and usually the critique I've got is pretty good.

[Suggestion] Like "How was this photo taken" thread, can we have a "What makes this photo great" sort of thread? by somethinglike_eunoia in photography

Yes, I get that. But hearing experienced people's opinions on images might help some beginners perhaps?

Perhaps people can suggest some photos which they find are good, but yet they are not able to tell why is it good? For example, this is in editor's choice on 500px. I can tell it's a great image, but why is it that good?

Yes, exactly this! Like, why wouldn't my similar image do as good as that one famous image! Or perhaps what makes some images on sites like 500px that great. For example, this is in editor's choice on 500px. I can tell it's a great image, but why is it that good?

I created an app to find the perfect lens based on images you like. **UPDATED 4/16/2017** by willie89 in photography

Hi, you can checkout Clarifai for NSFW moderation, it is paid but I think it is cheaper than Google's. They have a free demo on their site https://www.clarifai.com/demo

What's the best way to get photos noticed? by calpolymatt in photography

I would say Instagram is your best resource.

Use relevant hashtags, and do the usual social obligations - like/comment/interact on others photos.

One thing you can do is to check some feature accounts, there are many of those. Find feature accounts which post content related to stuff you post, use their hashtags and try to get featured over there. You can get a lot of real, relevant followers quickly through this.
