Photography and Time!

 This topic of photography has really piqued my interest. I love photography. I use my camera on my iPhone for doing Tik Tok's, posting pictures to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. So I'd consider myself a self-taught photographer. I've also used my Canon EOS Rebel SL1 for taking random pictures and recording videos of myself for my YouTube Channel. So the reason for this blog post is. I think I should be doing this as a part-time job.

How many people are out there making blogs and posting pictures. I'd have to do a search to find out, right. Wrong, just seeing the number of pictures posted daily to the internet. Who wants to count the number of people? That takes up valuable time. So do I have time? Yes of course. I'll make time to learn how to get the perfect shot. If the photo looks better naturally or with a filter. 

I want to go explore. I want to create great content for my blog. My website and my social media channels. So it's important for me to be a fun and successful photographer. So if you choose to be a photographer. Start taking some pictures. Be your own model for your Instagram. 

Take some video, post it to Tik Tok and ask others if they enjoy your content. Follow me on Tik Tok and see how I made it work. It's not rocket science. It's Photography and Videography. I'm still going to school for Music Production. I would like to continue my education after I graduate and move to possible Film Production or Photography. Below are Actual images that I've taken as an Amateur Photographer.

Work and School Grind

 Just recently started working with Door Dash. It gives me a chance to set my own schedule around my busy school schedule. Still getting good grades in a Music Production school. It's a nice side hustle to earn some money to pay for gas, food, and help with paying my car payment. I enjoy it! If you're interested feel free to message me on Instagram and I can send you a special link. Working from home online helps a little too. I like to spend a lot of time making videos on Tik Tok. Hopefully, Tik Tok never goes away. I like to share my journey of work, school, and travel on the best short-form video platform ever created.

I still like to do acting and have been getting into the dancing side of it as well.

I also run an online store selling shirts, hoodies, leggings, and a whole lot more. Feel free to check it out at www.oak-bar.com. 

Some questions I was asked in school

Jeffrey Barkey:

As a professional in the entertainment, film, or media industry, which of the nine elements of digital citizenship is most important to you? Share examples of when any of these issues has affected you or someone you know.

As an Actor and Model pursuing music it’s important to consider all the nine elements. But digital security and privacy are the most important in my career. Having a good reputation is everything to me. Going through a bad divorce affected my reputation and has taken three years to regain my trust in people and reputation back from others that believed I was a bad person.

What are the risks of not being aware of these Digital Citizenship topics?

Not having digital citizenship, is like not having a car to drive. Depending on others to help you get somewhere. It’s all about independence. Being able to market yourself and sell your brand (digital commerce). If you pursue the music industry. You need to sell your music. You can have a label to help you or release it independently. Being able to protect your car you need insurance. So think of your brand as your car and the security and privacy as your insurance.

What are some examples of Digital Etiquette in the real world? What are some positive examples of digital etiquette and some negative examples of digital etiquette?

I come from a life of being respectful and saying thank you. How do you thank someone digitally? It’s simply giving someone credit for the work they do for you. Having an online presence that shows how respectful you are personally and from a business standpoint. Not having digital etiquette can lead to poor business. Negative feedback and possible lawsuits. Google reviews can really affect your business and name.

How long do you use the internet per day? It’s important to consider your wellness and health when using digital tools - what strategies do you use to moderate your time spent online?

Usually 14-18 hours per day. I do time management by setting a timing app or giving myself an allotted time to rest in between usage. I know sleep is important. Eye strain can easily tell my body. I need a break.

Questions are from the Los Angeles Film school. 

All answers are supplied by myself.

Tic Tok Acting

Just wanted to say that my acting career has turned out to be a long version of take a number and you might get the part. How is it that people on Tic Tok become so famous?

Well this lip sync short video sharade is actually people acting!!! So with that said I've been on Tic Tok @jeffreybarkey. People dancing or pretending they can dance and sing. Pretending is acting. It doesn't take much effort, just a imagination and something wholesome. Be different be yourself.

Sell your brand and content.
That's how you become famous.
But you have to have followers and do a video at least three times a week.
Finding trends, staying positive and enjoying The feedback. Your followers are critical for your fame.

 If you have a Tic Tok please follow me. Please make me viral... sounds like desperation. I would never ask such a thing. My content will tell me if I'm a good actor or not. Feel free to check it out.

Ellen degenerous

needs proof I'm worthy of being on her show. Is what I would say. Happy browsing

Sincerely
Actor -Jeffrey Barkey
