this very interesting article. this article is very useful for me I am only a photographer, not a writer. but I keep trying to be able to write using interesting words. although in a photo there are a thousand words. 😀😀😀😁😁🤗🤗

Hahaha thanks @my451r for adding your feedback.
Before joining this platform I was neither a photographer or a writer. I literally became both by being apart of this. Although my interest started mainly in photography, I wanted to develop both skills together so that I could reach my audience in great heights in both ways.
A photo does speak a thousands words but the way Hive works is we let the photos speak for themselves and then it’s up to us to do the rest of the speaking through what we share about those photos, giving any background, emotions or stories that ties it all in.
I’ve known several photographers here that have been successful by only sharing their photos and maybe giving a brief about them. However, my question to you is how much of a connection do you want with your readers? Do you want them to come by and just admire your photos or would you rather them engage with your posts by relating to the text you share? If both were present, admiration of your photos and connection with what you write, you’d be amazed how much more interaction your publications would receive.
Your posts are already amazing to me, I love supporting your photography work. I’m just going off of your comment about wanting to write using interesting words. It’s more about the background and story that draw your readers in.
Can I challenge you? The next time you post try to make it a 4 to 5 minute post instead of just 1 or 2 minutes. Try to add in how you were feeling when you took those photos, what was the setting like around you, what made you take those particular photos. Do any of the photos relate to your character or any stories of your past that you could share? How about your family life and how it relates. You don’t have to use interesting words but instead try to tie in your photography with who you are and your passions :)
I hope this helps ~
thank you for wanting to reply. I am happy to read your feedback on my comments. To be honest, I have absolutely no writing base at all. because I graduated with an engineering degree. 😀😀 ..
but while joining hive in 2017. I started to get used to reading and writing.
And now I also join one of the local news media in my area. because I have expertise in photography so I'm not used to writing longer. The important thing is to have for 5W 1 H.
Well, I accept your challenge, I will try and get used to writing longer from now on.
replies to your comments really helped me and became my motivation to write even better on the hive blog.
thank you 😉😉😊😊
For sure! I love helping and challenging others. 😉
Thanks for sharing your background with me...and just like that I feel better connected to who you are and your story just from you sharing that bit! 😃😊
I am so glad the comments and replies have been helpful. Yay mission accomplished! 🥳
I am looking forward to seeing your next publication. Feel free to ding me so I won’t miss it. 😁😄
