The coronavirus pandemic should not stop you from creating awesome Instagram photography. Use this time at home to put a creative twist on everyday life details.
Use mirrors
Reflections are a good way of reflecting one’s creativity in photography. But instead of ponds, you can now use mirrors. Put your subject in front of a mirror to create an interesting effect. One, two, three, four mirrors to experiment – the more, the merrier.
Find an unusual perspective
Don’t stick to classic perspectives! You now have all the time in the world to try new things. Take any object you want and shoot 10 pictures from different angles. I bet you that at least two of them will be Insta-worthy, no matter the object.
Always use the grid
The grid is a great tool you should not forget about although you are stuck at home. Respecting the rule of three thirds and positioning the subject at the intersection of lines will make for a natural shoot which will get you a lot of engagement.
Use natural light
You do not need fancy flashlights to take great shots of things around the house. The sun is a great free resource that you can make use of all day long. Position your subject closer or farther away from the window to get different versions of the same photo.
Try shadow play
Another great thing about natural light is shadow. And with it comes shadow play and photography. Anything, literally anything in your house can be emphasized with a little bit of shadow. Shadows of colorful flowers look amazing on a white wall, for example. Or you can use your fingers to create some shadow animals and take shots worthy of unforgettable memories.
Symmetry is golden
If you love geometric shapes and tidiness, symmetry might work best for you. You can do that with any two similar objects like cups of coffee, shoes, or Easter eggs.
Go macro
You know how they say that happiness is in the little things. The same goes for amazing Insta shots. All the corners in your home and all the details can become the beginning of a great photographic story. Just put your camera on macro and start walking around the house!
Mix colors and textures
We all love color and texture play. It livens us up and makes an amazing visual effect, which will stand out in your feed. Food is a great candidate for color and texture mix and a very much appreciated Instagram photography niche.
Follow lines
Just like symmetry, lines will turn any dull photo into an Insta-worthy one. Any straight or curved object can become the mainline in a photo, from a crayon to a shoelace or staircases, if you live in a house and not a block of flats.
Do not forget to edit
If creating amazing Instagram photography is usually hard because you do not have the time you need to edit, that is no longer a problem as you likely have extra time on your hands. Take your time to turn your shots into unforgettable and lovable pieces of art!
