Hashtags are the best way for people to find and enjoy our photography. If you like to share #artistic photos, here are some that might make yours easier to find. Discovery works best if we cluster our work under common hashtags. I am collecting the most useful tags for my artistic photos and would like to share them.

Please reply to this post with any I missed that you like, I’ll add to my list if i’ll use them. Please copy and edit this list for you and post it, we can keep boosting these around.

If you send me a follow request, and you have zero posts or just a few boosts or your follower/following ratio is way out of whack, I won't accept the follow. If you are just getting started and that is the reason for the above, send me a DM first and I'll reconsider. The fact that you have read this is probably enough. Already too many non-human accounts have tried (not a bot, that means something different here.)

In my post on hashtags, I was called out (by a few) as elitist, and for denigrating (or downgrading) photos by using the term Snapshot. It was not my intent to offend so I reached out to several pro photographers looking for a better term. There isn’t one, it’s the proper term.

Snaphots are a technical term for a type of photography. A subset of Vernacular photography, an umbrella term used to distinguish artistic photographs from those made for a huge range of other purposes, including commercial, scientific, forensic, governmental, and personal. Snapshots capturing everyday life and subjects are a major form of vernacular photography (1).

Photos of a moment in time, person, place or thing, that aren’t journalistic, are snapshots. No judgment of quality, ability, or merit is implied. It is assumed by many that snapshots not edited for appearance (that would still make them vernacular, but many would consider them no longer snapshots). Snapshots often do not have relevance outside of the purpose of their capture, but are highly relevant within it.

Snapshots can also be (or become) artistic, can also be high quality photos (think candids by a wedding photographer). A more refined form of snapshots is Reportage (2).

Vernacular Photography (snapshots) are the subject of many museum exhibitions (3)

Universally the photographers I talked to say they frequently take snapshots, and none of them consider it a derogatory term.
