Is your photography page personal, as in pictures of you, things about you, or etc, or is it impersonal; mostly anonymous, just your pictures, not much information about the actual photographer(you).

I ask because I can see benefits and disadvantages to both and I’m wondering what is better.

Having a personal page let’s people get to know and get closer to the photographer which is good if you want to shoot people for example

Making it impersonal just tells one about your photos which is great too, and affords you privacy.

    So nearly everybody who follows me knows me personal too, so why not making it personal, thats my opinion if it helps.

    There’s an “about the photographer” page with a headshot on my website, but otherwise no. Not if I can help it.

    Nobody needs to know why I think Princess-General Leia is arguably responsible for the Starkiller attack on the New Republic.

    This depends on what image of you, you want to give the audience. And this depends on the audience, you want to reach. Its good to handle it the way, that fits to what kind of connection you want to establish with the audience / client.

    As long, as you have a business reason to share private stuff there it may help. For example. A family photographer, may share pics and stories, that show mor of the private life. Good dor establishing connection, with potential clients. If you are doing fashion or corporate stuff, there is bo rason to share stuff like that.

    Thats only my mustard to the livercheese. Have fun shoot on.
