Sharing your photography on Instagram can be rewarding and bring attention to your work. However, signing up for social media doesn’t mean that your photography will attract automatic attention. To gain followers and a fan base interested in viewing your images, one tool that many Instagram photographers use are #hashtags.
Hashtags are the number symbol followed by words and phrases which describe your work, mood, location, and more. By using the best hashtags, you can increase your list of followers and how many people get to view your work!
One billion people use Instagram every month, which means that whatever type of photography you shoot, some people will appreciate it – given of course, that they can find it! Start with your friends – send them a link to your page, follow them, or ask them to follow you.
From there, add your Instagram details to your outgoing email or webpage so that fans and past clients find you. Once you’ve done that, begin posting photographs and learn more about #hashtags.
Generally, start with the location where you did your photo shoot:
#LosAngeles #NewYork #France #Downtown #HaightStreet
Some standard photography hashtags are:
#JustGoShoot #InstaGood #InstaPhoto #PicOfTheDay #PhotoOfTheDay #Photogram #Instafocus #IGworldclub #Visuals #Aesthetics #ThroughTheLens #Snapshot #Exposure #Moment #PhotographyAddict #Capture #PhotographyDaily #PhotographyIsLife #iPhoneography #Camera #Composition #Photoshop #Instadaily #Igers #Cityscape #HDR #HDRspotters
Next, consider adding technical details based on the specific image or shot:
#RuleOfThirds #Vignette #50mm #LightPhotography #VSCO #VSCOcam #Monochrome #DodgeAndBurn #ThroughTheLens #Bokeh #MoodyGrams #Snapseed #Aperature #LongExposure #ManualFocus #Macro #LeadingLines #Symmetry #Viewpoint #Panorama #DepthOfField #GoldenRatio #Monogram #FatalFrames #ReflectionGram #Lightroom
Last, don’t hold back and add as many tags as you think specific to the style or genre.
While gaining an Instagram following won’t happen overnight, it is possible. Begin posting weekly or daily images and use hashtags that will increase your image exposure.
Being successful on Instagram can attract new clients, corporate clients and even paid endorsements. And don’t worry about people using your images from Instagram or creating imposter accounts to gain followers with your hard work.
