Girls, beaches, Instagram: famed photographer shares the secrets of popularity in social networks
Nowadays with the help of instagram you can build a career. Thanks to the vision frame or the right hashtags you can engage the creative Director at a cool Agency or you will have to create their own digital platform. In the conditions of constantly growing competition on the market of a certain stratum of photographers "old school" is trying to deny all these "instagram users". However, polka Magdalena Wosinska fearlessly fit into the company as the first and the second: it has a professional command of the art of photography, and her instagram account signed about 162 thousand users.
Magdalene instagram with the hashtag #TheExperienceVol1 exists in the form of a kind of gallery with photos from travels, full of beautiful, even to some extent, visually poetic shots. At the same time, its commercial projects consist of little more than refined materials. However, in a time when "every second photographer", even the super pros must be present in the space of social networks.
— How did you manage to create such an unusual style? — How long have I been photographed so many feel the interest to share cool pictures from his travels. Many involved in this has since the dawn of photography, but lately became well very popular to post photos from travels, to be called a travel blogger. Largely because it has become so easy and affordable to go on a journey to create an account in instagram or on Facebook — and it's in the bag. And actually, I'm just one of those people.
— Do you think that is a trend of our generation, or we all just use available technology? — I think both. This is a characteristic of our generation's fascination, and, of course, it is popular largely because way to share your photos and videos became available. Moreover, it's inspiring when you see the results of the work of the other people you admire and want to create something equally beautiful.
— What feelings do you experience when thinking about the fact that currently being a photographer almost everyone? — A lot of people from those who had not been able to share photos from their travels, now you can do it, because I created these unfortunate smartphones with cameras. But actually, technically anyone who has a device with a camera, can be considered a photographer. Just not everyone is a good photographer.
I've known photographers on instagram, which is not signed by many users, but they are very respected and much more significant figure than most of the people who are popular on instagram.
What I find really infuriating is when someone hangs a label on you instagram-photographer, and you think, "Oh, my God, I've been doing this for 15 years!" It's really embarrassing sounds.
I am serious about my work, earn good money, and I take photos because I find it fun.
There are so many different styles of photography and ways to take pictures. The photographer must be able to work in each of them. If you go too deep into commercial photography, you will be able to earn more money, but it's probably quite quickly get bored.
Many follow my photos on instagram. But in my opinion, people think too much about how many subscribers they have. Am using this indicator in fact, we can talk about how good I am? It's a damn competition to achieve popularity.
Is a certain currency of social networks. If at a party you see any instagram celebrity, it's hard not to think: "wow, this guy has 500 thousand subscribers!" — Well, Yes, and then to start respecting it even more. I think it sucks. You know what else sucks? In real life I only have three friends. Only three people on the planet Earth, not counting my parents, I can trust. Everything else is just an illusion.
