Narcissistic or not?

Hi everyone, I thinking about making a facebook page for my photography as I'm starting to get people adding me on my personal one about my photography. Like a bunch of people from bands and their friends in the few days after I shot an event 2 nights ago for example. I don't even directly give anyone pictures, I send them to my clients link because I'd never give them anything the client doesn't make publicly available. It seems like a good idea I guess but it makes me feel a bit narcissistic and I wouldn't really want to send that message to other people. Am I making a mountain out of an ant hill?

I ended up just going for it, if anyone could give me feedback on what I should do with the page that would be great.

I like the shot with the girl and the record, but the beer pong one? Not something I'd put up.

Good luck.

I wish more advertisers pulled their advertisements because they felt they were being narcissistic.
That's what your facebook fan page is - a giant advertisement for you.

Yes it is a very good place for marketing, and later you can ask clients to put their reviews of your services.. anyway, my feedback would be to get at least 25 people to 'like' your page, so that you can get a custom url address such as: facebook.com/callumbri​ghtphotography (or something shorter). I did that with my fb page facebook.com/vegaspros​tudios and it's much easier to type and link to
