The main thing to remember is that Instagram is a totally visual platform.

The more visually appealing your photos are, the better they’ll attract new followers.

Here’s another important thing to remember, try to shoot all of your photos in ‘square’ mode.

Since most Instagram photos are square, shooting that way will help you see exactly what the end result will look like.

It also means you won’t end up being disappointed when you need to crop your photo.

As with anything, Instagram photography isn’t a skill that you’ll hone overnight – just practice, practice and practice again.

There are plenty of other helpful solutions online, and they might be just what you need to take your own photos up a notch.
