Oh Shoot! with Cassidy Lynne

14 Instagram Strategies For 2026 Photographers


Listen Later

In this episode of Oh Shoot, Cassidy Lynne (@cassidylynne) dives deep into the new Instagram algorithm shifts shaping 2026 and what they mean for photographers. From static posts making a comeback to the rise of micro-engagement metrics and “Trial Reels,” she unpacks what’s working now and what’s quietly dying out.

You’ll learn:

• Why originality is finally paying off
• How to optimize for search and discovery in 2026
• Why “dwell time” matters more than likes
• How to mix stills and motion for better reach

Whether you’re a portrait, travel, or commercial photographer, this is your 2026 Instagram strategy blueprint.
