Facebook photographer pages

[FrankieTDouglas]

Does anyone have a facebook fan page set up for your photography? I never really considered setting one up before. Just figured the website would be sufficient, and email for receiving messages and etc.

I to have done one but its for more of targeting potential customers and the kids I shoot if they get so many of their friends to like the page I give them a discount on their packages they choose.

I went on the same whim, but as to more showcase the work in another way than my website would do. It's now more a sort of blog for me that an actual way to find work... alas a blog I'm too busy/lazy to maintain.

I'm not entirely sure that professionals would use FB for that kind of finding a photographer for a job.
The last few jobs I had I picked up via google > my website, so I guess that's still the main road for people to go when in need of a photographer.

And ofcourse, then there's the whole "we'd like to own everything you add to FB" attitude of FB 🙂

If you're interested in checking out the fb artist page I set up, which actually includes in progress images of new work I'm putting together, it can be found at http://www.facebook.com/andybloxhamimagery

Mine is at http://www.facebook.com/markhoodphoto - I don't have a proper website as such, as I'm not quite ready to build one yet.

So for me this is really just a chance to get some more feedback, and it keeps the photo people away from the work/regular people 🙂

I've not allowed people to post links and new items on there though, when I did I got lots of stuff that I wouldn't call spam, but wasn't really my sort of thing. I guess I'm missing out on some interesting conversations that way, but I still feel this is 'my' page, so I'd rather not see people promoting themselves on it... I'll have to re-think that, as it gets busier.
