In this episode we talk about Instagram reels and its relation to the downtrend in engagement with still images. We explore the balance between hopping on the newest trend while still remaining creative. We also talk about how Instagram is not the cornerstone of success in your photography journey. Lastly, we discuss how the relationship we have with other photographers on social media is slightly competitive in nature.
