Now more than ever there are so many opportunities for photographers to have their work seen. Marketing your own work has become a crucial element to success and ensuring your creative work is visible within the online community is one of the best ways to gain attention. Social media photography has opened the door to a world of opportunity and for photographers, the visual realm of the online world is ideal for showcasing your images and you have complete control over what you publish. I opted for Photography and Fine Art and am wowed daily by new content. This seemingly new kid on the block has been around for a while but has recently seen a surge in creatives jump on board to showcase their work. Not only can you share your images, create a gallery of work and network with likeminded people, you can also share your favourite music, links, places and thoughts.
