Clients for photographers from Threads
People on Threads ask for a photographer every day, and the client goes to whoever answers first. Hukny finds these posts in your city, filters out ads from other photographers and sends them to your Telegram with a reply draft ready. You reply first, from your own account.

What Hukny filters out
Search Threads for a word and you mostly get ads and offers from photographers themselves. Hukny drops these posts before the AI check, for example posts with these stop words:
- фотографи ви тут
- шукаю моделей на зйомку
- міні-сесії
- шукаю нові обличчя
- безкоштовну фотосесію
- безкоштовно проведу фотосесію
- запис відкрито
- відкрито запис
Stop words from the Ukrainian set; each language has its own.
On top of that, the AI drops job ads, courses and posts from other cities. Only people who are actually looking reach you.
Only your city and district
People look for this service nearby, so Hukny reads the city and district from the post itself (“Mokotów”, “Obolon”, “Praga-Północ”) and drops posts from other cities. Posts that don't name a city aren't lost: they go to the Maybe tab in your dashboard. Work in several cities? Add them all to your search.
How many clients are you missing every month?
Plug in your numbers. It takes a minute, and the result may surprise you.
Photographer: your estimate
Every month you miss about 15 posts from people looking for your service. That's roughly 2 clients and €303.
1 client = €200. The Solo plan = €11.99 / month, VAT included.
One new client a month is enough for Hukny to pay for itself. Even if it only helps you win back one in five of the clients you miss, that's ~€61 a month.
More detail: per year and with repeat clients
Over a year, that's about €3,637 in missed income.
This is an estimate, not a promise. The result depends on your niche, city, prices and how you reply. The number of posts is a ballpark or Hukny data from last week. Everyone can see a Threads post, so Hukny gives you speed, not exclusive access to the client.
Set it up once. Then Hukny works while you do.
1. Pick “Photographer” and your city
Hukny fills in a ready-made phrase set: the ways people ask for a photographer in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and German (“szukam fotografa”, “suche Fotografen” and dozens more), with every word ending covered. Plus stop words that filter out ads and job posts. Write a couple of sentences about yourself and your offer, so the AI knows how to reply.
2. Hukny watches for you
It checks new Threads posts every 15 minutes (on Pro, also every 5 minutes for 4 phrases in the fast lane). AI reads every post and drops ads from other providers, “looking for models”, job posts, courses and posts from other cities. Only people who are looking reach you.
3. You reply first
An alert lands in Telegram: what they need, where and how many minutes ago. Below it, a draft with your offer. Tap, copy, open the post, reply from your own account. One minute between clients.
Connecting takes a few minutes: sign in with Threads (the official Meta page) and one tap in Telegram.

Will my Threads account get banned?
Hukny doesn't do anything on Threads on your behalf: it doesn't post, like, follow or send messages. We don't even ask Meta for permission to publish, so technically we can't. We only read public posts through the official search. Accounts get banned for spam, for example identical comments under dozens of posts. That's why every draft is different, mentions a detail from the specific post and contains no links. And you send it yourself, just like any normal comment.
Which cities and languages are supported?
Any city: you just type it in, and AI recognises it in the post in any spelling or word form (“Warszawa”, “Warsaw”, “Warschau”, or the Ukrainian and Russian forms). “Kraków” and “Krakow” are one city: it counts once toward your limit, and we search both spellings. Right now most posts from Ukrainian-speaking clients come from Poland, Ukraine and Germany. Ready-made phrase sets for all 61 niches cover posts in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and German, including surzhyk. You can add your own phrases in any language, English included.
What if nobody posts in my niche and city?
It happens, especially in smaller cities and narrow niches. That's exactly why the first week is free: in 7 days you see the real picture before you pay. If there are few finds, widening the search helps: nearby cities, Russian and Polish variants, broader phrases. And if Hukny finds fewer than 5 posts from people looking for a service in your first paid month, the next month is free (results guarantee), as long as you had an active search with Threads connected on at least 20 days.
How well does AI tell a client from an ad?
It makes fewer mistakes than a word search, but it isn't perfect. So there are two safety nets. Doubtful posts don't disappear: they go to the “Maybe” tab in your dashboard, and you decide. And the “Relevant” and “Not relevant” buttons in every alert teach Hukny your criteria, so there's less noise every week.
Tomorrow someone in your city will ask for a recommendation again.
Make sure your reply is the first one they see.
