Home.  Eureka, CA. 

Sharing photos makes you more "real" to your followers.  They get to know more about you and what is important to you as a business owner.  People want to know that your brand has a heart and can interact with them on a one-to-one level.  Photo collages are a great way to do this type of share.

Ideas of photos to share:

- your artwork
- your work in progress
- your studio/office space
- you and/or your employees at work
- new equipment you may have purchased that you are excited about
- where you live
- places you've traveled to
- things that inspire you
- your garden
- your pet companions
- your family
- other interests or hobbies
- other artist's work that inspires you

Photos and videos are viewed, commented on, and shared, much more than plain text postings. Informational, educational, tutorials, and videos showing your creative process are all interesting to your followers.
