Using these hashtags well
Write the city into the set
Clients look for a photographer they can meet. #jaipurphotographer leads to someone who can travel there; #photographer does not.
Separate client work from showcase work
Potential clients and other photographers follow different tags. Use genre tags for clients and technique tags for peers.
Do not tag what is not in the frame
If the picture is not a sunset, skip #sunset. Mismatched tags bring viewers who leave quickly.
Questions
What are the best hashtags for photography?
There is no single best. Use a wide tag for the genre, a narrow tag for the subject, and a place or city tag, then adjust for each photo.
How many hashtags should a photo have?
Up to five; Instagram allows no more on a post. Pick the genre, the subject and the place.
Should I use gear or camera hashtags?
Only when the post is about gear. For a client shoot, genre and city tags are more useful.
Which photo hashtags for Instagram work best?
The ones that describe the picture: the genre, the subject and the place. A photo hashtag for Instagram that fits only your picture finds the people who like that picture.
Which Instagram hashtags for photography work best?
Tags that name the genre and the subject, such as street, portrait or landscape, then the place. Photographers browse exact tags, so specific beats popular.
