Thanks for compiling this list. It's an interesting list of people to look at and learn more about how to use Twitter more effectively and efficiently. I have been on Twitter for the last few weeks and already can see how this too can be very useful for communicating with clients, suppliers and fellow photographers. It is part of my social media presence from facebook.com/advertising.photography to my twitter stream @photosbydepuhl, both of which invite people to my blog.depuhl.com and my website http://www.depuhl.com

Thanks again for getting this list compiled.

... catching the light!

Twitter is a great way to build your brand and direct traffic to your website. @afterdarkedu we're trying to think of how we can use it to keep people informed at our After Dark Education events (the first is in Austin Oct. 11), which have a real spontaneous component to them. Part of the After Dark experience is a learning eruption when people collaborate, brainstorm, experiment and explore. It would be great to be able to tell people when these magical moments are occurring so they can partake in or observe them. Anybody have experience with this?

it is good to note that significant market players like B&H, Adorama, Calumet, and little old us (profoto) are using Twitter with great success to stay in touch with our customers.
It is wonderful to learn what people are thinking online quickly.

Still not sure if Twitter is just more static in cyberspace or really a valuable tool.

I use it (along with Linkedin...someone called it Twitter for grown-ups") to drive traffic to my photo blog This Photographer's Life (htpp://robertwalls.wordpress.com) and it works...but my blog is purely a sel-indulgent, anecdotal exercise based on nearly 50 years as a working hack. It's not designed to generate business...which makes it fun to write.

Interesting article, Qiana...

Awesome article! I'm a Twitterer as well, and pretty regularly hang out in the twittosphere. I post updates to my shoots, fun stuff found in my travels, and lots of iPhone photos (posted to Twitpic) of where I'm at, or really Random stuff as well. I love Twitter, and the fact that it's like a river of streaming consciousness - just dip in every once in a while and see what's happening. Or not. You can use it however you'd like, and it works for all. Thanks again for a great read! (and I'm following you now on Twitter - would love it if you'd like to follow me as well - @randomphoto)

I've been using twitter as a way to let clients know what I'm up to, and meet other photogs. @MooreClick. I'm also using the blog in the same way. I think having a blog lets clients know a little more about you. I do a lot of wedding photography, and it's hard to decide who you want to do your photos when you're considering a bunch of strangers. I like to get to know my couples, and having the blog and a facebook account make that easier.

Thanks, Qiana.

One of the more detailed and practical post I've found helping photographer us Twitter. Finally, another quality person to follow.

I create portraits of people and places that have style, presence and elegance.

Hi Qiana,

I've just discovered this very informative post.

I'm a natural history and conservation photographer based out South Carolina. Most of my work focuses on conservation issues and the flora/fauna of the Southeastern, US. It would be great to create a dialogue on these subjects with other like minded individuals on twitter.

I'm a music/event photographer from NY and I've recently joined Twitter. I've been using it a lot lately and it has become my primary networking tool right now.

I'm always looking for new friends and people to network with.
also since I am fairly young and new in the industry I am always looking for work and representation. I've been working really hard lately so hopefully it will pay off!

Awesome post! I'm going to check out some of the twitter photogs you mention.

I have a photoblog and at this point, twitter is my main source of traffic. It's a fabulous tool, and a great way to interact with others in the same field.

Just saw your re-post of this on Twitter. Like the tips... and I especially like the "think of three ways to use Twitter" idea. That one's going to be mentioned during my program on social media, for sure!

Thanks again

I was going to write about Adam Nollmeyer with ACME who does a great job using all social and web media to promote his photography business - we've actually done business together because of that and twitter is no different. Lots of great tips on here - thanks Quiana! (BTW our studio twitter account is at http://www.twitter.com/orangephoto - we recently got a Web 2.0 gig because of our twitter integration for a recent shoot too!)
