A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I don't know what to do with my photography (alien.top)

I've been taking pictures for about almost 4 years. I used to uploaded on Instagram and Facebook so other people could see it. But right know with the Insta bad algorithm I'm trying to find what to do with my pictures, because I love sharing them. One option I thought was to print them and gift them, but thats a little expensive and I take too much photos. Also I was thinking on making a website for store them like a virtual gallery or maybe a blog, but I'm not sure if it worth the time.

What do you do with your photos?
And what could you recommend me to deal with this feeling?

Sorry if I'm a little vague with my feelings but its the first time I feel like that.

I also am not liking instagram for their algorithm and especially the inability to share multiple aspect ratios in the same post. I was starting to assemble a website but then realized the cost and likelihood that people would actually go to it might be prohibitive to me right at this moment. The website I was making reminded me too much of tumblr so I just went there instead to make an account. I haven't been using it for that long so I'm unsure of how well this will realistically work for me but my account had interactions right away, I'm thinking if I get better at tagging popular tags I will have greater success in sharing more broadly. I also like that with tumblr I can create obscure tags that only I use to classify photos from the same shoot together just for my personal reference.
