Instagram is a great place to get –some— exposure and build up an easily ‘consumable’ portfolio. Photographers do use Instagram as a marketing platform for their photography. Some photographers mix it up with personal stuff or phone shots but it’s totally up to you. Make sure it looks good and try to stand out.
What happens after 10k followers on Instagram?
Once you have 10k followers, Instagram will make it easier for you to get people to your website via Stories with the swipe up to link feature. Swipe up is the only way to get a direct link from your Instagram to your other web properties. And, it’s available in STORIES, if you have 10k followers.
