In this workshop participants of all experience levels will be able to explore the different sides of Instagram photography. Instagram photographers with a minimum of 50–500K followers will share their own success story, tips, and tricks in a presentation. Then they will share and discuss with each other and the audience how they grew their following, how they tell their story and how / if they were able to monetize their instagram fame. Last but not least the experts will give a "Feed Review" of 3-5 instagram feeds of volunteers—and give criticism, feedback, suggestions and ideas on how to improve.
The workshop participants will learn HOW TO best use the application, its technical possibilities and challenges, HOW TO grow their following and network, and HOW TO constitute a visual identity of their own.
