Further Suggestions
To get more engaging Facebook users, you must know their social behaviour. If you shoot people within the landscape, it’s OK here to point out landscape shots that aren’t commercial, maybe a scene you saw on your morning walk. If you’re a food photographer share an endeavor from your favourite restaurant or an endeavour of your favourite guilty pleasure.
Show images that don’t seem to be off-topic from what you are doing but are more personal in nature and always shot well.
Share updates about what you’re doing and links to interesting articles that you simply or others have found may be a good idea.
First, always edit pictures well. By thoughtfully selecting what you decide on to share. the thought is to use Facebook to convey buyers more of an inspiration of the author the camera without bringing them completely into your social attributes.
