Should I show more of myself and my personality on my artist Instagram account?

Yes, definitely show more of yourself. If someone hits your profile and can’t learn something about you in a matter of seconds, they’ll leave. Many photographers hide behind the lens, but your audience wants to connect with you as a person. Include content about yourself, your process, your adventures, even your pets - anything that helps people get to know you. Consider going live regularly, at least once a week, to do Q&As or show something fun. This builds a stronger connection with your audience, especially since you’re often in remote locations with downtime anyway.
