Instagram Work

Instagraming For the Day  with Professional Instagramers!

Well what a day I had on Saturday. I went on an instagrameet... yes you may wonder what that was. I did as well. 
It is a group of people who are either professional instagramers or have large numbers of followers. Obviously I am none of these. 

We met and they all said what they did for a living. I felt just a little bit out of my depth from the start, I was so nerves that I forgot what my work # - the reason I was there.

People I met:

  • A couple of professional Bloggers - who write and also edit for themselves and also companies. Both had also written and published books
  • Professional photographers - one who looked about 12 years old but very passionate, the other was a more experience photographer but less experienced with the content that we were looking at. The second one usually did scenic photos.
  • Local people that worked for advertising companies that run other businesses Instagram page

Check out all the Cameras. 
 They had set up a table with food to get the best light and therefore the best Instagram picture. Me I took pictures of them! I was trying to get some advice and work out the best things to do. I ended up finding some amazing people and just spending the day talking and socialising.

 Then there was me... 
  • Tried blogging - still working on that but do not think I will ever get a book deal from it
  • Do photography as a hobby and still take about 100 pictures to one good picture
  • I do manage my work Instagram page but I fell into that by pure chance and it is only a very small part of my job.
Some of my Pictures from the day -  from my DSLR.

I had a great day! I do not think I will ever be a professional. I will stick to having fun.


Follow-up: After a day of indulgent I have not been able to stop. I have had two hot chocolates in two days. I was doing well. I am still working hard but today I decided to take part of the day off - thinking I would get loads done. I got nothing done.
