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 don't understand Instagram algorithm and I have given up on understanding it. I would honestly just like to meet some new artists through it but I rarely get any suggestions unless I actively try to do that. I still share my photographs and I don't have a lot of followers either. But I'm happy with what I have. Even if a few people genuinely love my work, it's everything. I might create a website for myself soon and I would print some of my work. There are galleries and I might see how those work next year. For now, Instagram is all I have. I thought threads would be great for photography but my feed was full of everything else but photography.
