The Impact of Social Media By Richard Young Social media has had a large (mainly negative) impact in the individuality of photographers’ work today, especially in landscape photography. For many, it seems the goal is not to create an image with personal meaning, but to create an image that will receive the highest number of “likes” on social media, this the measure of its success. A personal image that expresses our vision might receive little attention on social media; it may not deliver the instant ‘wow’ factor of the sweeping vista everyone else is posting. Craving that magnificent scene and the recognition that comes with its capture, some photographers allow their portfolios to become little more than a stamp collection of iconic locations rather than a body of work encompassing style and vision. Simply posting images to impress others and get the most ‘likes’ is like trying to make yourself happy by buying material items. For a time, it may feel good, but it will not lead to lasting happiness. Of course, there are many benefits to social media, and it has certainly helped to raise the popularity of photography as a hobby over recent years but it should be used carefully. It is far from the best place to view photographers’ work as a collective body, nor is it the best place to showcase your own style and vision. For this purpose, books, exhibitions, and fine art prints are the better mediums to pursue. NZPhotographer November 2020 81
