How can I take good photos for Instagram?

Community Answer

Your imagination is the only limit you have on taking and making great photos for Instagram. Having a variety of subjects along with experimenting with taking photos at different angles and editing your photos (cropping, filters, exposure, brightness, etc) is a great place to start.

Question

What if I have a private account?

Community Answer

Team up with a friend or someone who already has an account and get them to give you shoutouts. Then you can do the same for them and together you will be famous. In order for other people to see things you post, they either have to be your friend or you have to go public.

Question

I am only able to take pictures at home for my Instagram page. How can I compete with people who are able to travel?

Community Answer

Go outside and try to find interesting, capture-worthy spots in your hometown. Also, remember you are NOT competing with anyone, but rather sharing your passion and hobbies through the world's most popular social network.

Can I post pictures from the internet?

Yes, but if you want your insta to be original and gain lots of followers, it's better to post your own photos instead. It's important to be original.

Question

Can I have more than one theme on Instagram?

Community Answer

Of course you can! Just don't have too many, as it might be confusing to many people. 1-3 themes should be enough.

Question

What should I do if I can't think of a good theme or username?

Community Answer

For a username, use what people would describe you as, i.e. "grumpy_ava_086." And for a theme, if you love your cat, post pics of your cat. If you like memes, post memes. If you like to paint, post pics of your paintings.

Question

What should go in my Instagram biography?

Community Answer

You could show your nicknames, nationality, age, and hobbies. But if you want to stay safe, just say your pets (if you have any) how many siblings you have, or how much you love your family, and hobbies that you do. For example: 17; Owner of Lily the cat; 2 older bros' Proud daughter of wonderful parents; Amazing artist and cook.
