Photo Editing Tips for Instagram

Even if you know nothing about photo editing, I will share a very easy app that you can use to edit your photos professionally on Instagram!


Photo Editing Tips for Instagram - Adobe Lightroom

I love this app because it is free and that is the Adobe Lightroom app that you can get for your iPhone or smartphone. Adobe Lightroom is a paid program to use on your laptop or your desktop computer, but it is a free app that you can use on your phone which is totally awesome!

With lightroom, you can purchase a variety of different presets. There's also free presets that already come on the app itself. This makes editing your photos on Instagram very easy and it will give a consistent look to your Instagram feed. 




You can easily edit photos in black-and-white and they can have the same consistent look with all the photos that you edit.



There are lots of different photo editing tutorials available on YouTube so do your research and check them out!



Emily Jeffords and Jenna Kutcher sell great presets that you can use if you are a photographer or you are an artist. 



With Adobe Lightroom, you can easily edit Photos and adjust the brightness and contrast the exposure. The saturation, the hue, you can also crop photos and sharpen them as well.



If you are an artist or a photographer, I highly recommend purchasing a Adobe Lightroom for your laptop or desktop because you will be able to edit your photos a lot faster and quicker using AI. You can edit them even faster, you can remove different blemishes, or dust particles in the background, unwanted stray hairs that come across your artwork and you can just make your artwork look super professional.


When I take photos of my artwork, I like to set up my lighting and place my artwork on a white background to make sure that when I'm editing the photo, I can adjust the brightness to make sure that the white is fully white, and that all of the colours in my artwork are looking as natural and as realistic as possible. 



Photo Editing Tips for Instagram - Good Lighting

Having great lighting is an amazing photo editing tip for Instagram so it's good to try to capture natural light whenever possible. You can take photos of your artwork outside or you can try to use multiple lights, so that you don't have any shadows cast on your artwork when you take a photo.

The good thing about Instagram is that you don't need to have a perfect beautiful curated feed to be successful on Instagram. A lot of social media wants you to show your authentic self. Not only can you show finished pieces of art but you can show work in progress, you can show the materials, and the techniques that you use. You can show research and inspiration as well.
