Sharing your work can, and should, go beyond simply exporting for “likes” on social media. Some of you may want to present your work in front of a live audience, to clients who have hired you for a job, or to individuals interested in sifting through your work to buy prints. In fact, many of you may shoot for a project, essay or theme where your images are intended to be presented as a portfolio. For starters, not all imagery is intended to be shared as individual photographs. Still, there are additional applications to consider and other reasons for sharing. Speaking generally, I’ve picked a resolution for my JPEGs that I use for almost all the images I export out of Lightroom, I use a watermark when appropriate, throw in a little output sharpening, and that’s the bulk of what I do. I also suspect that most of us use similar sharing workflows. It’s an addicting feedback mechanism that has allowed artists to build audiences in new and exciting ways. These days, social media has become the most popular way for photographers to share our work. Think about sharing sets of images or portfolios with Lightroom Classics Slideshow and Book Modules. Sharing your work doesn’t begin and end with exporting individual images.
