Social Media Trends for 2021
1: Show Your Audience Your “Reel” Brand Personality with Instagram Reels or Tik Tok – Known for short and snappy content, these bite-sized, “snackable” content pieces give you up to 15-30 seconds to share your brand personality
2: Make New Friends, But Keep The Old: Don’t Leave Long-Form Video Out – In the midst of Instagram Reels, TikToks, stories, and other scroll-stopping video clips, long-form video remains key in content strategies
3: Stories Capabilities Are Not Only Here to Stay, They’re Growing – It started off with Snapchat (or Picaboo as it was originally called when its launched in July 2011) and now they’re everywhere, the fleeting forms of temporary content that allow brands and users to share material that disappears after 24 hours.
4: Replace Face-to-Face Time with Screen-to-Screen Time Eighty percent of B2B marketers in the US and UK expect to run or participate in hybrid events in 2021, a research survey by Integrate finds.
5: Make eCommerce Even Easier: Social Media Becoming a One-Stop Shop – With an increasing number of social media platforms offering more eCommerce capabilities, your digital storefront just got bigger! Consumers are no longer having to exit social media apps to make a purchase as the checkout process has been streamlined to occur directly within the social platform.
6: When It Comes to Content Strategy, Knowledge is Power – 2020 was the year of baking banana bread, growing plants, making TikToks or Reels, watching webinars, utilizing a lot of video and getting creative with the ways in which we keep ourselves, and for many of us, our children, entertained.
7: Just Because You Can Go Text-Heavy on Facebook, Doesn’t Mean You Should – If you’ve ever been involved in the creation of a Facebook ad, you’re likely aware of the infamous “less than 20% text in the main image” rule.
8: Keep What’s Behind the Brand and Behind the Screen at the Forefront: People – The running theme of so many of this year’s social trends is to put people first. Beyond showcasing your brand’s personality, company culture and insightful content, pushing your brand’s “why” to the forefront remains ever-important as Gen Z and millennials mindfully build loyal relationships with brands whose values align with their own.

Review of Two Articles on Canon Lens Experience:
Stephen Fink A man who wrote an article about his photography work which is under water photography. Fink states in his article “Imagine yourself swimming next to a sailboat anchored just offshore, dolphins an arm’s length away, a huge whale swimming by, or a shark inches from your camera lens. Shooting underwater can be exhilarating, but it’s also one of the most challenging types of photography.” This mans hard work in photography shows that photography is a skill that people have to develop as you continue with your journey of photography. It is hard work and dedication too get the perfect angle of every picture. Many photographers like Stephen Fink admire their work and what they do. I found it very inspirational that Fink takes photo’s of what he loves for living and it motivates me to choose the right career that I love.

Why is photography important…?
Photography is important because it can capture all types of priceless moments that can be very meaningful. Photography helps individual’s see the world with different perspectives. A little image can have a lot of meaning and different point of views based on it. In the article “Why photography is important” it mentions ” thanks to photography, you can admire the most diverse scenarios and situations captured in a frozen moment.” Therefor I believe that, that is the best thing photography can do for you. In other words photography can be so powerful. In the article It states “It enables you to bring meaningful experiences to others in that form of static images.” I personally agree with this statement I think people should give photographers more credit for what they do which is capturing price less moments and can even spread awareness for those who are in need of it. Photography is also known for spreading awareness’s and situations from all around the world. Lastly I’d like to thank photography for showing us the beautiful wonders of the world, As well with trying to spread awareness about the disastrous moments that takes place on earth. This is a captured moment that I truly love and always look back too for good memories.
Photo from 100 most influential list
This photo really caught my attention. I found it very heart breaking but not surprising, this image is really deep but it shows the truth about what takes place in the world. The photographer who took this image mentions that this was the only thing she was able to do for the young boy which is an eye opener for the world. Tragic moments take place everywhere but the best thing you can do is spread the awareness too individuals around the world. This young boy was leaving Syria when he accidently drowned with his sibling and mother. The photographer states ” I thought, this is the only way I can express the scream of his silent body.” The statement the photographer states, is also very tragic this makes me think back to all the poor children who did not have a voice for them to speak. Their are plenty of outrage’s actions taking place in this earth perhaps hearing this story will make all countries think twice before starting a war. The young boys name was Alan Kurdi’s he was only three years old and his older brother was five years old. It mentions that “hours” later an agency came to the “rescue.” These people clearly needed help and no one was taking any situation serious, which is why the world must know that other countries need help and it is urgent!
