How should I explain my artwork in reels without just posting beautiful pictures?

Creating reels where you explain your pictures is an excellent approach. Structure them by showing the image clearly while you provide context—where it was taken, what caught your eye, what the image means to you, or the story behind it. Keep the reel short (around 15-20 seconds), use clear captions for accessibility, and end with a strong call to action like ‘available now, link in bio’ or ‘find prints on my website.’ You can divide the screen with your image on top and your face explaining at the bottom, or use the green screen filter to have the image as your background with your face in a smaller window. Varying the format keeps content interesting.
