Instagram used to be the spot for flawless, curated images: pristine brunch plates, airbrushed beach photos, and glossy interiors. But that aesthetic is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users prefer photos that look real. <\/em>Images with a little texture are more interesting than flawlessly edited landscapes or portraits. However, you don\u2019t need to abandon all editing to make this trend work for you. You can clean up your photos by removing blemishes or dirt with an app like TouchRetouch<\/a>. Adjusting brightness or contrast will also subtly improve your images!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to be a downer, but the early months of 2020 have been characterised by isolation. That makes it tough to seek out an attention-grabbing backdrop and stage the perfect photoshoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, the humble mirror selfie is on the rise again. These images feel a little more intimate and natural than staged photos, and as a bonus, you can shoot them without a tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To maintain the throwback appeal of this format, consider enhancing the graininess in a tool like Adobe Lightroom<\/a> to add the kind of texture that\u2019s characteristic of film. Or use Afterlight<\/a> to add subtle dust and light leak effects to photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a long time, food images on Instagram were tidy and refined: a square of avocado toast on a pastel plate, an artful cappuccino, a perfect Momofuku cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, that aesthetic feels a bit clich\u00e9 and instead, viewers are craving food that looks vibrant and messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To achieve this look, you want to edit your photos for high contrast and saturation, to achieve a crisp, vivid look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The photo editing tool VSCO<\/a> is great for food photos, with a ton of filters that enhance your images. Use a filter like G3 to add vibrance, or A3 for clean, bright tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Images that stick to a single color family look clean and crisp on the feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This monochrome look is dramatic and interesting, giving a straightforward photo an editorial feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To enhance your images, clean up distractions like dirt or shadows from your backdrop with an app like Touch Retouch<\/a>. It helps you remove unwanted objects from your photos while retaining a natural look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A more multipurpose tool like Adobe Photoshop Express<\/a> can also help you dial up the saturation of your featured tones while keeping your photo balanced and beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another trend with a retro kick is neon, glowing brightly all over Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Projecting an active and energetic mood, It\u2019s a good fit for cinematic shots, dramatic portraits, or fitness brands. You can achieve this sultry vibe through your photo set-up, by positioning pink and blue lights on either side of your subject. But an even easier method is through the aptly-named Neon app<\/a>, full of colorful filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ready to bring your photos into the next decade? Remember, trends are supposed to be fun\u2014 if you enjoy the content you\u2019re creating, chances are your audience will too. And while you’re at it, take this chance to print these wonderful photos that you can keep and admire for many years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to print your Instagram feed check out some of our online photo printing products that are perfect for displaying your Instagram photos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Till next time, cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your average Instagram user spends almost half an hour each day on the app, which means photos that looked fresh years ago have already lost some of their sparkle.
