Social Media

 

A conversation with hosts, Brie Stockwell and Len Metcalf, unpacking & exploring creativity through the art of photography and other creative passions.  

In this chat about "Social Media" we discuss:

• Different platforms and how we use them
• Communities
  • Large Format Film Forum
  • Nature Photographers Network
• Overcoming comparison
• Helpful suggestions on using social media
  • Slowing down
  • Curiosity
  • Plan intentional use

Questions to ask when using social media:

• “What is my purpose in sharing today?”
• “What am I going to think when people “like” or comment on my post?
• “Do I still like doing it??” or "Am I having fun?"

 

Mentioned in this episode:

“Consider carefully what part of your art is about you as an individual, and be sure to protect that part from whatever social aspects of photography you partake in.  It may be tempting to spend your time discussing or arguing various aspects of photography online., but be sure to set regular checkpoints for yourself: to stop every so often, even in the midst of a heated debate, and ask yourself, “Is this helping me grow as a photographer, as an artist, as a person?” - Guy Tal
