Social Media: May 2021
The social media report for May 2021 is a wild, wild ride, so grab a glass of your favorite alcoholic beverage, sit back, and prepare to be entertained.
Our Pinterest account allows our social media guru, Claudia Calderon, to be creative as she compiles the images for our many boards featuring photographic specialties and promoting Wonderful Machine’s consulting services.
As on the site blog, one of the most popular is the Bio for Photographers board, which had 24,179 impressions, 1,038 engagements, 824 pin clicks, and 277 outbound clicks. If you are looking for some inspiration to create your bio, this board has great examples of creating an impressive one by following our Expert Advice: Writing a Photographer Bio article.
Our Food Photography board came in second with 3,417 impressions, 81 engagements, 69 pin clicks, and 11 outbound clicks.
On LinkedIn, our post following the Creative In Place: Wings emailer campaign garnered 466 people’s attention, and Angelo Merendino’s portraits of nurses for National Nurses month reached more than 380 people.

On Facebook, Philadelphia-based photographer Dave Moser‘s recent work for WSFS (We Stand for Service) bank brings to light the personalities of banking professionals, reaching 238 people.
We have seen continuous progress building followers on Instagram, which is the industry standard in commercial photography. We are getting closer to having 15,000 followers. Watch out, LeBron James.
Our most popular Reels on Instagram was a Behind-the-scene video from the Worcester, Massachusetts-based Amy Rose Productions with 1,674 views.
Our most popular image on Instagram, posted May 24th, was from the Mkushi, Zambia-based photographer Patrick Bentley, who captured this image of lazy hippos in the Luangwa River.
The second-most popular image, posted May 21st, was part of Seattle-based Chona Kasinger’s takeover. This post reached 1,811 people and has 128 likes.

Wonderful Machine also maintains a YouTube channel where we’ve published a host of playlists over the years, including Member Open House events, Unfiltered discussions, Web Assessments, and even Website Makeovers — to name a few.
Remember that every detail counts on a Print Portfolio, as you’ll see when you check out our videos on YouTube and find inspiration to create your own.
Although it’s not necessarily as popular among creatives as Instagram and Pinterest, Twitter is still a meaningful platform where many non-creatives can learn about our services. For example, during May, we published Little Rock, Arkansas-based photographer Karen E. Segrave’s latest work for Coulson Oil’s RoadRunner stores, “real people” shopping and working at the gas station convenience stores. This tweet earned 527 impressions.
