    Yeah I’ve been using hashtags but probably incorrectly because I’m tagging what’s actually on the photo and not what the popular hashtags are. I’m also posting quite irregularly.

    I’m not trying to grow a big audience or anything. I’ll keep taking photos for myself nevertheless but I’d also like to share the best ones with others but with intagram it just feels like waste of time. On twitter I post about just as often but there I have 1600 followers (of which a significant portion is bots though)

      If you want people to see your work, you have to find the popular hashtags for your niche. Check out photos by people who post similar stuff and see what they use. For my stuff I could have labeled them #door #abandonedbuilding or #oldstorefront but the tags in popular use are more like #facadelovers #windowshiding and #ihavethisthingwithwalls.
