Facebook is bad for photographers. It takes but never gives back. Photo management tools are ugly inconvenient and with time they only got worse. After years of using Facebook as photographer I just left it for good and never regretted this right decision. Please don’t make this mistake. Use it for any purposes but photography.
Facebook sucks for photography the photos come out horrible because they compress the hell out of them. If you want to lower the quality of your images use FB for photography.
I have to agree, I think the compression has actually gotten worse over the past year. I have almost entirely stopped posting photos for my business there since it misrepresents the actual quality I can bring. The other thing that is terrible is the Facebook TOS and proposed changes to the TOS that is a giant rights grab.
Best thing to do, host your photos on your own site or photographer friendly site and then link to them from your social media profiles if need be.
Facebook is the way where those simple person given a chance to see those beautiful things that can a photographer got.Thumb’s up for those photographer who’s share there photos without asking for something.
