There’s no more divisive issue in the Instagram community than the use of Bots or Automation to grow a following. Tassiegrammer and Kieran try to give an un-opinionated explanation of the difference between bots and automation, how they are used and how affective they are. They believe there are bigger issues that the photography community needs to address and stand together on. On a lighter note they chat about how they use the HSL functions to control colour in Lightroom and Photoshop.
