Default What kind of Photographer are you socially?

When I say socially I mean how active- if at all, on social media, blog, share BTS (behind the scenes) photos, flickr (EXIF on or off), looking for or/and giving critiques, sharing shoot information i.e. model/MUA/Hair Stylist/etc's names and MM#'s.

For some reason I just don't understand why certain photographers keep as much information about themselves and their photography is as private as possible.

Myself as you should know, I'm a very social photographer, not just online, even in person.

It depends for me. Sometimes I am very active. Sometimes not. It really just depends on my mood, and/or how I personally feel about what I want to share. It all comes down to what my confidence level at any certain time is.

Agreed, sometimes I want to talk about what I'm working on and share it with the world, and other times I like to think about it quietly............

I like to help and give people good advice as much as possible. I never had anyone teach me how to use a camera or techniques I just had to find out on my own by trial and error and reading the right books. So whenever I can give advice is enjoyable for me.

Social seems to be the business model now. So I do the social media thing to drum up business.

As for sharing shoot info, I like teaching people. It puffs up my ego.
