I’m a hobbyist who enjoys street and landscape photography, and after getting diminishing returns and burn out by posting on Instagram, my photos started amassing in my lightroom library - never to be seen by anyone! I have a website (Adobe Portfolio), but I rarely use it, and it doesn’t bring me that much joy.

I recently came across Substack, which is a newsletter/blog type website where you can create long form content, and in my case, photo essays and commentary. This has been a really satisfying alternative to posting on social media - I enjoy writing and it feels like I’m putting more intention behind my work. I think Substack will take off, and I enjoy the niche community of photographers on it.

How are you sharing your photos these days? And, if you’re not, why not? What do you think the future is for sharing photography?

And if you’re a Substacker already - I’d love to follow you! If this subreddit allows it, drop your Substack below :)

    I’ve used Zenfolio as a blog for over ten years now, and I have so much material on there that it’s not worth the effort to change. During a period when their website was behaving very erratically, I considered switching to a different place, but before I could get serious about it, they sorted the website out.

    I put up a blog post roughly three weeks in every four, share links to my various social medias, and then focus on the next post. The numbers aren’t of particular importance to me.
