Whatsup Hivers,
Since I’ve jumped back into running my own business, things have been moving fast. I’m working on some cool projects again, and now that I live in the city center of Enschede, I’m feeling way more inspired to get back into portrait photography.
The problem
Instagram’s algorithm is rough these days. Growing a new account without spamming 30 reels? Good luck.
Take my last reel; spent a few hours on it, got 2 comments and like 100 views. RIP. That’s partly on me for letting the platform go quiet for a while, but still… if I want to keep the lights on, I gotta be there. it's what's paying the bills :)
So here’s what I’m doing
I created a few new IG accounts for different parts of my work. One of them is focused on portrait work: @rawww.people (Instagram link) check it out, and if you like what you see, drop a follow :))
That’s the one I need to grow the most in terms of time vs ROI. And I’d love to get the Hive fam involved.

Here’s the deal, it's simple:
- 💬 Drop a sincere comment on one of my portrait posts (1 per post)
- 📸 Screenshot it
- 💰 I’ll upvote your participation
Please don't try to play the game.
What kind of content would you actually like to see?
I've been thinking of making a pipe-line for content that goes on that page.
- Behind-the-scenes content?
- Photoshop tutorials or edits?
- Something else entirely?
Let me know in the comments
I probably will make this a weekly or monthly thing.
Really appreciate the help.
Cheers,
Ruben
