Lately some of my photos started to lead a life of their own on facebook and I think it is time tot make my own public photography page.I just need to be able to claim my work easily (tag my page) and maybe redirect people who are interested in my work to my page.
But I have no idea how to start!
I'm currently managing a business page for a bakery, but I can't use that format. I want to make it clear that I'm not doing commercial shoots.
What type of page do I need? Is it a brand/product?
What kind of facebook pages do you have?
I'm interested to see both professional pages and other public photography pages.
Just post the link to your facebook page here and we can all have a look!
You can post your Instagram page too.
I'd been wondering about this too.
Annie, your page is fantastic, just popped over and gave it a like :)
I'd also love to see other 365ers FB pages & instagrams if anyone cares to post links...
@laetitiapetrussa@m2016 Thanks for looking! If you set up pages (or if anyone else has them) please let us know, would be awesome to see what other people have :)
I started a page for photography about 3 years ago, it's made me think about making a proper website but even then it's handy to use facebook to link it too - I've told other photographer friends that if they post about their blog I'll go and have a look as I've been reminded.. Good luck ! :) https://www.facebook.com/ingridbudgephotography/
@laetitiapetrussa Your photos are gorgeous! I like the idea of the Facebook page, but not sure my photos are ready for prime time. I do post them on my own Facebook page and people seem to like them.
I set up a FB page for my artwork and photography since I'd like to keep my regular FB page more for personal posts. I put mine under the category of "artist."
I find it so much easier to keep up with than a blog and since it's more for a hobby than a profession, I'm not worrying about a website. The only bad thing about FB pages is that the FB algorithms can make it hard for posts to be seen by an audience unless you want to pay to boost them (which I don't).
@marylandgirl58 Your photos are lovely! They totally could stand on their own FB page!
I have a FB photography page but find it hard to get my FB friends to 'Like' it! I've just started to try & get some more traffic to it by posting albums of recently take shots to it & then sharing that to my personal FB page.
I use my FB page to promote my images on Society 6 & RedBubble https://www.facebook.com/CarolineBenziesPhotography/
Have a look & I'm grateful for any feedback!
About facebook likes: I am familiar with the facebook algorithms because of the bakery's business page. It really helps to have your friends share your photos on their page sometimes. The more your friends like a photo, the easier the next one will show up in their feeds, so it's possible that they don't like it because they just don't see it. Tagging them in your comments or sending them a link to your album in a private message also helps to get more views. And likes.
It also helps to invite all your friends to like your page. Although I don't know if it works for any page (e.g. a photographer's page)...
About Instagram; if you decide to follow, please let me know it's you because otherwise I might not follow back. It's nothing personal but I generally only follow real-life-friends or very similarly themed pages. I follow 356 project members if I recognise them.
Tweets ahoy!

Think I chose public figure as the page type, then there's an option for photographer
Your page looks beautiful!

This is the page I manage for the bakery https://www.instagram.com/bakkerijcoppens/ and I'm much more active on there.
But most of the people I know don't have Instagram...

Thank you guys! This was very useful!
I will carefully study all of your pages before I make mine.

I just made a page, and I'm filling it up with some photos I made the past year. Will you take a look? https://www.facebook.com/LaetitiaPetrussaPhotography
and I love the introduction to @carolineb7 's page as well !
