How to take a perfect Instagram photo

If you've ever wanted to know how to up your Instagram photography game well you've come to the right place. Here's 8 steps to help you achieve the perfect photo.

1. USE THE RIGHT APPLICATION
Take the initial photo on VSCOcam which is a bloggers favourite app and pick the best photo out of the lot.

2. TAKE IT AT THE RIGHT TIME
Put some thought into the time of day for optimal natural brightness to make sure your photo is taken in its best light. Keep in mind you can play around with light, contrast and saturation later on.

3. CAPTURE THE RIGHT THING
Check your surrounding and make sure nothing strange or unsightly is in the background of the picture you are taking. Make sure your photo doesn't go viral for all the wrong reasons like this photo did (spot the rat if you can).



4. CHECK YOUR ANGLE
Make sure you capture your subject from just the right height/distance/angle to ensure you get the best possible shot.
