This is the Improved Photography Podcast episode number 198.

Hey everybody and welcome back to the Improved Photography

podcast, your weekly dose of photography knowledge. Hey everybody and welcome back to the improved photography

knowledge I'm your host Jim Harmer and today I am joined by Nick Page and

Connor Hibbs hey guys how's it going hey well we Well we got tons to talk about today. We're going into a little bit of a new format for the show. We're doing six topics and one new skill that you can learn in 12 minutes. We want to keep the show moving a little bit

quicker on the pace and increase a little bit more the interaction between

the hosts and I hope you'll enjoy the slightly different format.

So the first thing we want to talk about today is social media for photographers, Nick,

I've noticed online, you've been super frustrated with this.

What's happened?

So I don't know if anybody else has noticed this but for quite a while my

photography page has reached like a fraction of what my personal page reaches

even though I now have I don don't know, 2,500 more followers on my photography page,

guaranteed reach double, if not triple, the amount on my personal page.

But I have seen a dramatic fall off on the reach of both pages.

A photo that, you know, there for a while back in the glory days back like 10 months ago or

whatever. It wasn't uncommon for a photo to reach

a thousand likes or thereabouts. And now pretty consistently my photos are reaching like

80, 90 like probably a fifth or a tenth of what they used to reach and I don't know if it's just that my photos are not as good or if you know people are just not just sick the death of

Nick Page filling up their timelines or if it's just not showing up on their

timelines have you guys experienced something you're just not a very good

photographer that's the problem that's how I'm just not a very good photographer that's the problem.
