looking to improve my outdoor photoshoots. I'm sick of using just the speedlight on my camera, time to step up my game. Anyone know any budget friendly brands to look out for as far as equipment? (umbrellas, stands, softboxes, strobes). Starting to hone in on Off Camera Flash Photography.

:yeshrug: i sucked @ IG up until last year. my hashtag game strong. but the algorithm is still fukked up, and MOST people that have a large follwoing got the instagram stimulus package of being a suggested user. then there are those with 20k followers that only get 100 likes cuz most of them followers are bots. IG is weird....

How much do you guys charge for a photoshoot? Say with two looks
150-400.. some people just get charged more. I'd say starting out 50-75 per look, depending on how comfident you are in you photography

Had the same problem I just gave up on hashtagging. Whoever is feeling it, is feeling it.

I deleted the bots and people who never engaged with my profile

hashtagging is easy as hell tho and it works. people might be feeling your photos, but with the fukk ass IG algorithim they wont see it unless you hashtag
