HOW TO CREATE A ROCKING INSTAGRAM FEED

This week we are going to get into #instagram, it is my favorite platform.

Instagram is considered important because it is. Love it or hate it (and it's difficult to feel ambivalent about it if you are interested in photography), it has transformed how many people document their lives and share it with those around them.

Instagram Feed is a place where you can share and connect with the people and things you care about. When you open Instagram or refresh your feed, the photos and videos we think you care about most will appear towards the top of your feed.
Planning out your content in advance is really what’s going to make or break your Instagram aesthetic.

You may ask yourself, does the Instagram Grid matter?

The entirety of your visual grid is more important than individual posts as it is where all the juicy parts of your profile are holistically, including your follow and message buttons

You have to show the world what makes you unique right?

So Instagram is a great platform to build your online presence and make it pop up from the rest.

You need to think about more than just your individual Instagram posts — you need to consider how each post looks in the grid as well.

I have designed my grid for my brand, as you can see they are aligned with my brand purple, cream, and gold, as you can see here in the example.

By taking the time to plan your Instagram feed in advance, you can create cohesive, on-brand content that aligns with your business as a whole and keeps your followers coming back for more!

Here the first tip to help you visually plan your Instagram feed and create your own, cohesive aesthetic:

Choose the Aesthetic of Your Instagram Profile

The first thing you’ll want to do is decide on the Instagram aesthetic of your profile, and a great way to do this is just by looking at other accounts for inspiration.

Taking the time to think about these things while you’re browsing your favorite profiles will help you decide what “aesthetic” will best represent you and your brand.

You also want to consider what types of photos you’ll be posting. For example, you might prefer a dark and moody feed, but if you live somewhere like Queensland, that may be a hard look for you to achieve. It’s important to think about where you’ll be shooting your content as this can impact the look of your feed.
