WHAT IS #JJ?
WHAT? - #jj is a creative community. With millions of images, submitted to hundreds of interactive, themed events a year, we believe #jj is the most passionate and active group of photographers in the world.
WHO? - You. We welcome anyone who is interested in a more creative life.
WHERE? - You can find us on Instagram. Follow the @joshjohnson account and you will receive daily content from leaders in the photography community. Forums, contests, tips, discussions, and more.
WHEN? - We are a global community, so we share images 24 hours a day. You can browse content on @joshjohnson or search for great images in the daily gallery. Anytime you need even more inspiration, check the @jj_editors accounts or satellite groups listed at @jj_anarchyfiles . You will find the best images submitted to the #JJ community.
HOW? - Start today by submitting an image to our #JJ daily forum. Every morning (NYC time), we post a new theme on the @joshjohnson account. Simply follow the instructions on that post to add your images to the day’s gallery. When we submit images to the forum, we follow the 1-2-3 rule. For every image we tag, we comment on two and like three.
WHY? - Quick answer? Taking and especially sharing pictures is a LOT of fun!.
Kind of corny but true answer? :-) For some of us it goes a little deeper. For some, consciously looking for the next picture is transformative. We’ve found that the daily practice of intentionally seeing, capturing and telling our story, pulls us out of our heads and back into a more intimate experience of our everyday lives.
In a word, we’ve found that really watching, creating and sharing “connects” us. Connects us not only to each other, but connects us to the best of who we are.
So… that’s #jj. :-). We hope you will join in and tag a shot or two to the forum today. We can’t wait to see your pictures. :-).
Josh Johnson.
VOLUNTEERING AND SPONSORSHIP -
The team and I are always looking for enthusiastic and creative people to help manage the community. Email [email protected] and tell about your specific experience and skills can help us better serve the photography community.
The world’s most innovative brands are realizing that the best way to advertise is not with advertisements at all, but through cultivating relationships with passionate and active communities.
Some of our favorite companies and charities have collaborated with us on exciting, creative projects and events. Last year’s projects included promotional trips for the Australian tourist board and public art installments like full wall mosaic murals in Canada’s hip new ALT brand boutique hotels.
We were proud to create and host the Open Road Challenge for Chrysler and FIAT USA, who donated a new FIAT 500L to a lucky member of our community. And we were also grateful to be given a chance to help the Watts of Love charity provide hundreds of solar lights to the victims of the 2013 Typhoon.
If you’re interested in a new way to connect, a style of marketing grounded in establishing real relationships with some of Instagram’s most passionate and prolific content creators, email me and we’ll discuss if a #jj collaboration is a good fit for your company or charity. [email protected].
