Should I show my face in behind-the-scenes Reels of my creative process?

Showing your face is not required for effective process Reels. You can simply walk into frame with your back to the camera and sit down at your workspace. The focus should be on showing variety—different artworks, different stages of creation, different angles in your studio. What matters is demonstrating that you’re actively working and creating. For photographers, you might appear carrying your tripod and camera. The key is showing authentic moments from your creative practice, not performing for the camera.
