Social media used to feel SO fun. I mean, think back to the days when we’d just take a photo with our iphone, slap the Valencia filter on it and call it a day. It was so simple back then, so pure... But then came the algorithm... And with it, the never ending demand for MORE! More likes, more followers, more content… more, more, more! It kinda becomes exhausting, doesn’t it? As photographers, we pour our hearts into our work, only to feel like we're constantly chasing something that keeps moving further away. And then you add in the constant stream of heartbreaking news every time you open the app—the world seemingly on fire—it can make sharing your art feel almost pointless.

Maybe you’ve been feeling it too, and if so, it's important to remember that art has the power to bring light, hope, and connection—even when it feels like everything is falling apart. Your creativity deserves to be seen, and it IS possible to reconnect with the joy that brought you to social media in the first place. And I’m sharing all about it in today’s podcast episode, we’re talking… finding that spark again making social media work for you, what’s been making me feel disconnected from IG and how I’m bringing that joy back how to stay true to yourself and your craft, even when the world feels like it’s falling apart THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PATH REOPENS FALL 2024.
