Timothy Craig Fant defines himself as entrepreneur who is adventurous in nature, embarking on his tour of world travels years ago and using it to his advantage. 


One way creatives, adventurers and travelers like Timothy Craig Fant can share, network, and influence their audience is by using social platforms like Instagram.

Instagram is an incredible platform to establish and improve your brand, define and connect with your audience, and find inspiration while networking with other creatives and travelers.

Among Instagram's many features that allows freelance photographers to explore and share their content and art is through Instagram TV.

IG TV - What is it anyway? 

Instagram TV is much like Youtube, allowing users to create full length vertical videos to share with followers. Unlike a video post, IG TV does not cut videos short due to post formatting, allowing your to upload any length video longer than a minute. You do not however have the ability to stream live, much like the "Facebook Live" feature.

Use IG TV in 3 simple steps:


  1. Create your channel directly through your IG account 
  2. Upload or record a video 
  3. Choose or upload a cover photo and add a video description
