Course Description

For those who didn’t grow up with smartphones in their hands, getting started on Instagram can be a daunting task — and that’s the easy part! Once you start using Instagram, it becomes clear that sharing stunning images alone doesn’t result in instant growth. In such a saturated market, how do you stand out?

Join social media influencer Pei Ketron for a 2-hour, lecture format workshop on Instagram strategies that enable you to maximize your reach and influence as an imagemaker. Geared for those relatively new to the intricacies of Instagram, Pei helps you understand its full feature set, discusses best practices for how to keep social media social, and reveals strategies for discoverability and growth on this all-important platform. Her 90-minute lecture will be followed by 30 minutes for questions and answers.

These days photographers connect with the world through the effective use of social media platforms — Instagram being the most important one. Once and for all, discover how best use it by listening, watching, and learning from Pei.
