Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Use the pinned "Self Promotion" thread for any offers; include process/context with images or they'll likely be removed; AI content belongs in the monthly AI megathread.

Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, question, discussion
Headline: short descriptive title (add “Critique/Feedback” or gear/issue if asking). Write in first person, include process, gear/settings, lighting and challenges. Post length: a few sentences to a short paragraph with images; tone: helpful, humble, technical. What gets upvoted: honest before/after or campaign shares with context and clear questions; blatant ads or service offers outside pinned thread get removed.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/productphotography's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
