The Landscape Photographer’s Engagement Funnel, Part 3: Building Trust Beyond the Image
This article is part of the Engagement Funnel (Series)
This step builds on the system outlined in The Landscape Photographer’s Engagement Funnel, Part 2: Turning Viewers into Participants.
Beautiful images earn attention. Honesty earns loyalty.
Trust is built when people feel the human behind the camera.
Share:
The waiting.
The failures.
The learning.
The gratitude.
Statements like:
“Not every outing gives me the shot I want… but every outing teaches me something.”
“Half of photography is patience — the other half is presence.”
Trust deepens through narrative, which is discussed in Educational Storytelling.
These aren’t branding statements. They’re invitations into your process.
And when you freely share knowledge, you shift from creator to guide — and that creates long-term connection.
