How did you author the photo you recorded for upload to Instagram?

Like every other photo I shot this pic on my iPhone 6s using the rear camera without using a flash. I tend to rarely use a flash with smartphones as I feel it can really washout a photo, I would prefer photos to be dark over being too bright.  I took the shot straight in front of the door from about a metre back and only needed to take one photo as I felt the image spoke for itself.

How did you publish the photo you recorded for upload to Instagram? 

The reason I take pics and store them in the library as opposed to using the Instagram camera is that I never really know if I’m going to post the photo and would like to make that decision at a later time.  This was the first photo in this project that hasn’t been the back door at home, I was visiting this place with my partner and simply just loved the door and thought, I have to add this to my assignment. I also added some more general hashtags such as #fitzroy and #doors to see what kind of coverage it would get.

How did you distribute the photo you published on Instagram to other social media services?

I posted this photo to both of my Instagram accounts and also shared it to Facebook. As I felt this photo was less personal to my space I added a few hashtags to put it out to the public. I was particularly surprised to get some’ likes’ from photographers who had a few thousand followers, even one that specialised in photos of doors around the world. As a hack photographer and Instagrammer it gave me a slight thrill that someone who successfully dedicates so much time and effort into their art appreciates someone I’ve offered in a similar field.
