The Closer We Get / Nature Photography
Up close, truth reveals
petals worn, yet full of soul.
Distance hides the real.

"The Closer We Get"
In both photography and life, I’ve learned this:
the closer I get, the more I truly see.
When I first started capturing the world, I was drawn to vastness
walls, skies, open space.
But over time, I realized that the real stories
live in the details.
A dried flower, a cracked line, a quiet fold in a petal
these things don’t shout
but they hold entire lifetimes.
It’s the same with people
with love
with the self.
From a distance, everything is shaped by assumptions.
But when you move in
gently, honestly
you begin to see what’s really there
not perfection
but truth.
Photography taught me to look again.
Art taught me to get closer.
Life confirmed it.
So I keep walking forward
lens in hand
heart open.
Because the closer I get
the more I find out.

Hi,
Sorry to be so bold, let me give you a few suggestions for getting more engagement and visibility for your work. You deserve it. Very interesting, in my opinion.
1- Only publish once a day (if you're compulsive about publishing, you can always schedule it for the next day).
2- Post in communities, not just on your blog.
I notice that you don't like to post a lot of images. You also post/support them with text. Note that the vast majority of curators prefer longer content. However, there are other communities where your work fits in well.
Here are a few examples:
PhotoFeed. Photo community. Every day of the week there is a themed competition. Posts with a single image are accepted and welcome.

Before posting on each of them, read the rules carefully.
Once again, sorry for the boldness. It pains me to see an interesting account being poorly rewarded.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. No boldness taken at all, your message felt generous and genuine. I really appreciate the tips and the links you shared. It's been at least five years since I was last active on Hive and I’ve only been back for less than a week now. I still have a lot to learn and I’m taking it all in. I find Hive to be a powerful place and your comment really helps me find direction. I’ll definitely dive deep into the communities you mentioned and read their rules carefully. Grateful for your support and encouragement, it truly means a lot.
