How To Make Beautiful, Amazing, High Quality Photos On Instagram

Hello! I have not been posting lately here. It is weird and really disrespectful to my readers. Today I will be teaching you how to take high quality pictures using only your mobile phone. Lets get started.

First thing. Never ever take pictures in dim places. Rarely will you ever find a beautiful shot unless you intend to take a night shot of steel wool or something like that. Still it will either comes out blurry or grainy.

This is clear to all photographers. It doesn't matter whether you use a camera. DO NOT EVER TOUCH YOUR LENS, but don't get freaked out if you do. Just wipe the fingerprint of with a lens cleaner. Don't make it a habit to clean it with the clothe of your shirt.

Next. If you use Instagram, it is always advisable to upload an HD photograph. Instagram actually resizes your pictures to make it smaller, so you have to upload a bigger file. Remember the bigger, the better.

Also if you are an Instagrammer, it is a must that as much as possible you post should have the same vibes. If I am not clear to you about this, I will explain. Okay. For example, you use a black and white filter today, then you use a high contrast picture tomorrow. Then you use a low light effect on the next. The presentation of the gallery won't look as presentable as it would have been if all your photos were edited the same way. That is why having a niche on your photos is better than having none. But having a niche is not really required, nor is editing your photos all the same way, but as much as possible have the same filter on most of your images.

One thing is for sure, I HATE VINTAGE filters that Instagram offers you. If you love it, it is okay, but I'd rather see a picture that you edited yourself. For example, this filter is not in Instagram. This is my favorite:

This is actually not black and white. It is just less saturated.

If you want to know how to do this effect, keep reading. I will explain it later.

Okay, for Instagrammers, never ever post a blurry image. Not even if your life depended on it.

Using HDR effect. Don't use hagrid effect. I just hate how people don't know the difference between hagrid and HDR. It is completely different.

Obviously COMPOSITION is needed. Use the rule of thirds. It helps on composing photograph, but in some cases, it is better off that you leave the subject in the very middle. Sometimes, the rule of thirds can be too mainstream. It helps to be a bit odd.

Apps! Important in editing. I don't usually use Photoshop or any computer software to edit my pictures. I just use my phone. It is easier to do so since I use my phone to take the picture. I use Pixlr Express. II am telling you right now. It is the BEST photo editing app I have ever used.

Also, if there is by any case a phone with a high quality camera around, better off leave your phone in your pocket and use that instead. Then just Bluetooth the image afterwards.

Last but certainly not the least, the instructions for the faded color filter.

1. First, download Pixlr Express.
2. Second, open the app up and upload the picture.
3. Third, using the app, do whatever edit you need to do first. For example, the contrast and the lighting.
4. Fourth, click brightness and adjust it so it is a bit darker.
5. Fifth, click brightness again. and adjust it so that it is brighter. This step makes the picture's colors faded.
6. TIP: I personally don't recommend just adjusting the contrast slide so that the picture is faded. Trust me. It looks horrible.
