Let’s get you IG ready for that next sweet escape!

Our team travels to different provinces across the country per month and here are our basic tips on achieving Instagram worthy photos:

  1. CHOOSE THE PERFECT SPOT

Find that Instagram worthy corner or spot where you’ll be able to highlight the essence of your location. It could be a random empty street, local park or a landmark that defines the place. Try to find a view that’s not too commonly shot!

  1. PLAN YOUR OUTFITS

But of course! Who better to star the photo than you, right? So get your outfits laid out at least the night before, so that every walk and shot is #OOTD ready and insta-worthy!

  1. FIND GOOD LIGHTING

Stay lit! We recommend having natural light when it comes to Instagram photos, they make everything pop out more naturally and gives that glowing vibe that filters just can’t replicate. Make it a habit to head out while the sun is still up and shining to give you that perfectly lit photograph.

  1. CHOOSE A THEME

Consistency is key when you want to achieve that #InstagramFeed goals. Before the start of your trip try to search for pegs and colors that fit the location and your personality and stick with it! Pinterest is a good site to get inspired. It’s nice to have a standard look or feel in your photos especially when you complete that 9 post streak! Imagine your IG envy at the end of that vacay!

  1. BRING AN INSTAGRAM BUDDY OR A TRIPOD

The reign of selfies may not be over, but it doesn’t hurt to have someone take your photo for you that highlights the location, your outfit and the entire feel of the place. If you’re going solo, pack a tripod then remote or timer your way to those shots! Burst and dance or stay still for that one solid frame!

 

STEP IT UP A NOTCH: CARRY A WIFI READY CAMERA WITH USER FRIENDLY SETTINGS!

We all start somewhere and for us, the quickest way to capture a moment is through our phones, but sometimes the size of the photo and the resolution just doesn’t cut it, and moments that vivid and precious should be well kept! So we’ve moved up our game with Wi-Fi-ready mirror less cameras that are quick and easy to use! It just feels better to see your photos in HD!
