like i understand the pursuit of gram fame is its own legit thing in 2015, but a true photography skillset would likely be powerful thing for you to have for other broader art purposes

12. ""real" camera ? Are you a camera snob ? lolz" In response to Reply # 1
What is a "real" camera ? You might wanna be careful with that, I've see amazing shots done with an iphone, I've also seen tons of horrible shots one with pro level Canons and Nikon.
The camera is the least important thing in photography, its that thing 2 inches behind the camera that matters.
Perhaps less dismissive elitism and more positive critical analysis..

unless youre a photographer displaying your photographic skills anything more is just not necessary
edit: after actually seeing the pics i def dont think she needs to go out of her way to use a "real camera". phone cams now adays are good enough to bring out the "artsy" without the extra if you have a good eye. her pics are nice. not sure how far shes trying to take it but not everybody needs to have a nikon to take nice photos

1.) You're kinda late on the IG/VSCO train. If you were doing this in 2010 you might of had a chance.
2.) There is kind of like NO SOUL for these pics. They are good photos, but it's a gazillion people in the world taking these kind of "artsy" photos. I see good flicks, but it's nothing to them, anyone with a steady hand and a few filters could do the same thing. But the talent is definitely there, so keep grinding.
3.) I have 2 accounts a personal account with 5K+ followers, and an art/photo account with 43k+ followers and I was uber late to the party on the latter.
4.) You might not want it.

18. "I kind of have two answers; 1.) Totally by chance," In response to Reply # 17
I used maybe 2 or 3 hashtags at first max.
2.) I have two VSCO pages, at one point 2 years ago I would get selected at least twice a month for their grid, and I my photo got featured on VSCO's IG as well. But not my personal page, my other one. So it could be that.
