You can't just snap and post, you know.
In the present era, who doesn't know Instagram? I think almost everyone has used this photo and video sharing application. Surely you are also one of the users, right?
This application designed by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger is indeed one of the most popular social media in various circles, especially young people. Instagram has the advantage of pampering its users to capture every moment of their lives, applying digital filters, then sharing and interacting between users.
Because of its popularity, not a few are competing to have perfect photo content or feeds. This perfect photo content also gave birth to the nickname Instagramable which is now often used and becomes the destination of many people when visiting certain tourist spots.
However, to get an Instagramable feed, there are some important things that must be considered. Ranging from color tones to concepts to feeds. So, you can't just snap and post, you know.
Well-organized Instagram feeds usually belong to professional photographers. As seen on Instagram fashion photographer Nicoline Patricia's account. The name of this photographer is already familiar in the world of Indonesian and foreign photography.
The girl who initially tried street photography also often shared her knowledge and experience about photography, both through her blog and Instagram. Even soon Nicoline Patricia will also share her knowledge directly through the mentorship project.
Well, before meeting in person, let's find out the five secret Instagram feeds that are elegant from Nicoline Patricia, as Brilio.net has extracted from various sources on Wednesday (2/13).
- Create a special theme when uploading a work.
Before taking a photo and sharing it to Instagram, make sure you have determined the theme to be used. The concept with the theme will certainly be more interesting. If you still don't know what theme you want to display, you can find out your passion or passion and use it as a theme.
Oh yes, make sure your photo content is consistent and united. Because, Instagram feeds that are consistent and united will look much more interesting. Of course this will increase the number of your followers.
- Upload portraits in a certain order.
One thing that certainly concerns everyone when you first see your Instagram account is the order of the last nine photos that you uploaded. These last nine photos will form a 3x3 photo grid. Make sure these nine photos are united together in color, lighting, theme and mood. Consider these nine photos as a single photo with the same style.
Also balance your 3x3 feed with a lighter and darker light variant. But everything is still in the same red line. You can see an example in the picture above.
You can also use an application that will automatically split your photos into sections. But make sure the photos that you use have high resolution, too, are well split.
- Looking for inspiration.
- Don't be monotonous with just one shooting idea.
Another important thing that you should not forget is to take as many photos as possible when you are somewhere or when taking a photo. In addition to helping you stay consistent, you will also have lots of stock photos.
But what needs to be considered is not to be monotonous with just one idea of shooting while taking photos. If your passion is traveling photos, make sure you combine photos of scenery with food, interior, streets or certain details to give variety.
- Use color and mood as the main weapon.
Penggunaan filter saat mengedit hasil fotomu bisa menjadi tahap penentu baik atau buruknya feed-mu. Hindari menggunakan filter yang terlalu mencolok atau memakai filter yang sangat berbeda di setiap postingan fotomu.
Menentukan warna dan mood yang senada akan menciptakan feed Instagram yang konsisten. Tentunya hal ini juga akan membuat tampilan Instagrammu jadi lebih rapih dan elegan. Oh ya, jika kamu lebih suka menggunakan filter yang berbeda dalam setiap postingan, pastikan kamu menggunakan filter yang sama maksimal sembilan foto. Sehingga, agar tampilan feed Instagram tetap terlihat konsisten dan pastinya Instagramable.
