Facebook is terrible, IG is also terrible because of the its aspect ratio and quality, Flickr has a limit of a thousand, 500px has a BS upload rates.

I need a good site to display and share my photos
here is my granny, be NICE. (no swear words)

>>4448336 (OP)
I just post here, instagram and sometimes a discord I'm in. I don't think people really care much about photography. It's everywhere and people consume more of it in a day than they did in a year 40 years ago

>>4448336 (OP)
Other people don't really care about photography and never really did. Unless it's a gimmick the general public is mostly interested in the utility of photography for things like weddings and graduations. That being said I still post photos online. I pay for flickr premium so I have an online backup of my jpegs and I post occasionally on instagram and foto. If you want quality the only real option in my opinion outside hosting your own website is flickr.

Just put borders.

I store my photos on a Proton Drive paid plan and then share the link with friends. Simultaneously, I put my favourites on Instagram.

If you need more than a 1000 photos you are posting slop.
It’s that simple.

I text them unsolicited to anyone in my contacts who I think would enjoy them.

Why do you need to “display” your photos or share them with the masses? Surely you do photography for your own enjoyment and mastery? Self fulfilment? Are you a woman that you “need” external fake validation?

>>4448336 (OP)
Here and IG, that's literally it.

>>4448467
>Are you a woman that you “need” external fake validation?
Stop begging the question. First establish with reasons how sharing photos equates to seeking external validation.

>>4448488
If you "share" your photos and no one views them, is that really sharing? Would you care? If you do, would you be willing to pay others to view your photos? Would you expect something in return from them?

>>4448490
>Would you care?
A bit but not really.
>Would you be willing to pay others to view your photos?
No?
>Would you expect something in return from them?
Not really? but I love the sense of community.

>>4448467
You put your creations out in the world to achieve fame and recognition and assert your skill and talent. "Muh self fulfillment" and "art for art sakes" is a cope for failing to achieve any recognition and ironically a feminine, interiorized approach to art.

Why do you need to “display” your thoughts or share them with the masses on 4chan? Surely you do thinking for your own enjoyment and mastery? Self fulfilment? Are you a woman that you “need” external fake validation?

I am sick and tried of telling you faggot about photobooks and exhibitions. Photographers who are worth two shits use Instagram for the PROMOTION of their work. They share their work through print. Go and fucking dominate the galleries and get photobook publishing deals. Grab life by the balls.

>>4448536
Found the gender-obsessed schizo.

I don't update my artistic content for regular folks to envision and scroll past it.
Only the lowest level photographers who beg for attention, share their work and note: they absolutely have to mention what camera and lens they used, and even the EXIF to appear more knowledgeable.

>>4448551
Yes, I AM a woman (male), how did you know?

Personal website running on a raspberry pi.
128gb mem card makes me think better about what I upload there.

Im a fucking sperg, so I dont share the link with anyone, but sometimes I wish someone saw my pictures.

>Personal website running on a raspberry pi.
Post it please

Also holy shit you can make a personal photography website with on a fucking 128gb memory card????? Teach me, O Master

>>4448607
seeking connection is le..... lowest form of photographers!!!
your heart is full of hatred. might as well kill yourself

>>4449013
Go make instagram reels, for popularity.
4 digits followers max.
Real photographers don't need the approval of the masses.

As I said, I don't feel comfortable sharing my pictures with anyone. Kinda gay, I know.

About the site, I'm making my own even though I'm not too good with development. Gemini is doing most of the work and I'm just giving instructions and troubleshooting, vibecoding at its finest.

But there are a lot of WordPress themes that you can just download and configure for your personal preferences, birdsite.jp or minimalio.org are some examples that I know of. The worst part is managing the database, but there are a lot of tutorials for that.

Then you just need to follow a basic tutorial on installing MariaDB, Nginx or Apache, PHP and WordPress, and you have a site. If you buy a domain and open your ports, you can access it on the internet, otherwise, it'll just be on your local network.

Hardware-wise, a Raspberry Pi will suffice, or an old laptop. If you don't wish to dump all your photos in raw format, SSD (or SD card) speed is more important than size.

Of course, if you open your site to the internet, you'll have to worry a bit about security and ongoing maintenance (making sure that all software is up to date). But it's not that hard and you have a lot more creative control and freedom than when using social media.

That's a lot of gay shit. Look into a static site generator like Jekyll, and a free photography theme and you're all set.

>>4449020
Yeah, real photographers delete their photos as soon as they take them. Imagine saving your photos like an attention whore retard.

I don’t use digital or film, I just put my hands up making a square and say to myself, “captured”, smugly and satisfied.
