Is Instagram Worth It? My Honest Take for Photographers
In this episode of Between the Frames, I’m diving into a question many photographers are asking—is Instagram still worth it?
Let’s be honest, the platform isn’t what it used to be. Static photos get less love, growth feels painfully slow, and unless you’re a pro at making Reels (spoiler: I’m not), getting traction can feel impossible. But despite all the algorithm frustrations, I still think Instagram can work for photographers—if you approach it the right way.
I’ll break down:
- What’s changed on Instagram and why it feels harder for photographers
- Why I still think the platform has value
- Practical tips on how to make it work for you in 2025
- Why you should stop stressing about the algorithm and post for yourself
If you’ve been debating whether to stick with Instagram or ditch it for good, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to adapt to Instagram’s new focus on Reels without losing your style
- Why carousels and consistent posting still work
- Simple ways to engage and build community
- How to shift your mindset and make Instagram fun again
