Pinterest hashtags for Photography
For photographers and photo studios on Pinterest. Your audience: clients booking a shoot, aspiring photographers learning the craft, and people who love great images. Pinterest is a search engine: pin titles allow 100 characters and descriptions 500, and both should use the words people search.
Keywords to copy for photography
Pinterest works best with keywords in the title and description matter more than hashtags. This set is sized for that:
The full photography list, by layer
| Broad (reach) | photography photooftheday photographer portrait camera |
|---|---|
| Niche (your buyers) | portraitphotography goldenhour weddingphotographer photographytips lightroom behindthescenes |
| Community | photographylovers photocommunity shotoniphone creativeportraits |
Broad tags are crowded, so use one at most. Niche tags are where your buyers actually browse. Rotate a few tags per post so every set describes that post, and check that a tag's top posts match your content before you use it.
Pair your tags with a strong first line
Hashtags help people find a post; the first line decides whether they stop. For example:
"One light, one reflector, golden-hour portraits. Here is the setup."
