Already having a somewhat established social media persona both personally and professionally, I also thought about how that has changed since coming to college, especially in a sports way. As I expanded on before in my sport media diet submission I was not heavily on social media until high school, and I did not regularly post until I came to college. Especially in sports in general I did not have a lot to post in terms of sports unless it was me engaging in news, games, that was already being displayed. Finding myself always navigating towards fan pages that provided updates on people I was interested in I can say that I have created a few myself, but never solely sports related. Upon coming to college though I was able to post more about the games I was going to on campus and once finally getting into photography post sport games I was able to capture. With this I believe I have carefully curated my persona on my photography page to be more centric on sports photography. Although I do post other forms of photography I feel as if looking on my page you can be led to think it is what I do mainly.
Wanting to create a page to display my photography and also show that sports photography is what I am interested in I was able to create this persona early on. After a game day and I have edited my pictures I go to post them on my account. Often times if they are being posted to the universities magazine website I wait for the article to be posted to post my pictures of said game. Keeping the captions simple of just who the home team has played against, is what I wanted this social media persona to display. As far as my personal view on sports is viewed I believe I have a very different persona when switching to my personal account. Posting memes as well as expressing my grief on certain sport topics I believe these two personas vary differently. Although these are two different sides of me I believe my love for sports is shown through both mediums.
