I signed up for Twitter yesterday because why not. I was on years ago in a different life when I cared about politics and was super edgy. I manged to gain a large following with my tweets, because being controversial sells I guess.
I followed a few of the big accounts. Magnum, Aperture and LFI. I already know and like their content. But then I searched for street photography and was bombarded by photos that all look very similar. 85mm photos of silhouettes with wild color grading. No emotion, no fleeting or decisive moments. Nothing that makes me want to know more or examine the photo. Some with the standard “loneliness” or “thinking” captions. LAME. And I thought Instagram was bad.
actually the #streetphotography tag is “hacked” everywhere also on IG and here on WordPress. but If you would like to find some nice Photography still following the tags try #filmisnotdead and #believeinfilm.
Thanks, I’ll do some more searching. Any accounts you recommend for street and doc photography on Twitter?
