Photography Hashtags: How To Get Followers, Likes and More

If you are posting about photography, you will get the best results by using a combination of hashtags with each social media post. This will help you to get discovered, build your followers, and gain social proof: comments, likes and also, those all-important clicks on the URLs in your social posts.

Start out with the hashtags you find below: best hashtags to get seen now for photography. If you will continually be sharing social posts on food related topics, see the hashtags below and bookmark all hashtags that are relevant and show good numbers for retweets and exposure, from which you will create a Hashtag Set. Your hashtag sets private and are available to you in your RiteTag Dashboard, here.

Besides your picks from the section above, you should really consider including photography hashtags with less engagement, but will get your social posts seen more over a long period of time (weeks, months, sometimes even years). Find your long-life choices from the hashtags to get seen over time section, below. A combination of photography hashtags from both the get seen now and the get seen over time sections of this page tends to garner the most likes and attracts the most followers.

While the get seen now hashtags are most engaging right now, many people will be using them. The competition is high among people using these hashtags and all aiming to get their social posts discovered. The get seen over time hashtags are even more likely to get a social post in front of the eyes of people who click hashtags, search within social and content networks for posts containing a hashtag, and curate posts based on the hashtags used with social posts.

Putting hashtags for photography to work for likes, followers and engagement

Note that the majority of the hashtags in the above two sections of this page are excellent for Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn, and also for Instagram. A well-chosen set of hashtags for social networks other than Instagram would include hashtags from the above sections and exclude the Instagram recommendations found below.

It is good practice is to build a Hashtag Set that includes:

• good to get seen now hashtags for photography
• to get seen over time hashtags for photography
• your one or two specific photography hashtags (e.g. if you specialize in wedding photography, #coupleshoot, #weddinginspiration, etc.).

It’s also prudent to form another Hashtag Set that would contain only your good only for Instagram hashtag selections. Naturally, #instaphotography is not going to be useful in Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Because you can include up to thirty hashtags on an Instagram post, you will want to accumulate as many hashtags as possible for your Hashtag Sets for photography.

You always get a different range of hashtags rather than the same group of hashtags that are always the same, which most other hashtag helper apps provide.

It is best to use your hashtags as a comment on each Instagram post rather than overloading post captions with hashtags. Limit yourself to up to two hashtags in the caption if you use any at all. Otherwise, the caption will be hard to read. You’ll find many influential Instagram Business Accounts that focus on photography and never include hashtags in their post captions.
