Friendly reminder to #photographers posting in the #fediverse to include hashtags & content warnings (in addition to alttext) on your subject matter, rather than just slap #photography on all your posts. When you just post your shots without any description, it comes off as random, reckless & unskilled, I don't care how "good" you think you are or what expensive lens you used.
When you're a male who posts female models in lingerie & just calls that "photography", you come off as a pervert. Use the NSFW tag so we can filter. That also goes for the insect folks too.
Bottom line: Use some common sense and include appropriate tags & content warnings #cw if you have questionable subject matter in your images.

https://www.npr.org/sections/the-picture-show/2026/04/23/nx-s1-5793922/world-press-photo-announces-photo-of-the-year-2026

"The Photo of the Year is Separated by #ICE by Carol Guzy, ZUMA Press, iWitness, for Miami Herald.

This photograph was taken inside one of the few #US federal buildings where #photographers were granted access —a single hallway where photographer Carol Guzy & others showed up, day after day, to document what was happening. It captures a harrowing moment: a family separated by the state."
