Is anyone a part of a photography community?
Our take
Are you part of a photography community that fosters genuine connections? As a passionate photographer since the age of 15, I fondly recall the vibrant interactions on Flickr in the late 2000s, where sharing photos was paired with meaningful conversations. While Instagram offers a platform for showcasing work, it often lacks the depth of community. Recently, I’ve found solace in Newgrain, especially as a film shooter, but I miss those authentic connections.
I have been taking photos since I was 15. I used to be on Flickr in the late 2000s and it was an incredible place to post photos and talk to other photographers.
Lately, I’ve been missing those days a lot. Instagram is great for posting but terrible for community building. I love Newgrain since I mostly shoot film but there’s no place to start a conversation other than commenting which is intimidating. No direct messaging either.
Where do you guys find community? Like the real stuff? Where you’re on a first name basis and you actually know people?
