2. Sometimes, no filter is the right<br />
filter.<br />
It is <strong>Instagram</strong>’s filters that make your photos stand out. This is probably why there are<br />
so many <strong>Instagram</strong> users who somehow feel a bit pressured to use them. But<br />
remember, there is beauty in simplicity.<br />
A raw yet high-quality photo ultimately beats a filtered low-quality image. <strong>On</strong> top of<br />
that, you need to maintain the overall look of your account in mind. If you have started<br />
using filters at the very beginning, make sure you use a similar one in the future as<br />
well. If you have been posting raw photos, then it is a brilliant idea to keep your future<br />
posts unfiltered.<br />
3. Adjust the brightness and the contrast.<br />
It is absolutely fine to skip out on the filters in <strong>Instagram</strong>. After selecting your photo,<br />
you can immediately adjust its brightness and contrast.<br />
You can also rotate the image, add frames and more. Although some people prefer to<br />
use the filters first, it is important that you adjust the two most important settings before<br />
anything else (brightness and contrast) so that you can clearly see its effects on your<br />
raw photo.<br />
4. Have a keen eye on photo selection.<br />
If you have read one of our previous posts, the fourth step in creating a stunning<br />
<strong>Instagram</strong> feed is by being selective of your photos. <strong>On</strong> top of that, you also need to<br />
have a keen eye for assessing whether the photo you have selected is worthy to be<br />
posted.<br />
Every person who is serious about their <strong>Instagram</strong> game should already have a<br />
planned layout for their account. If the photo you have selected does not seem to fit in<br />
the frame and the overall aesthetics, do not hesitate to junk it away.<br />
5. Use hashtags appropriately.<br />
The only way to search on <strong>Instagram</strong> is through the use of hashtags. This means if<br />
you want to be found, you have to use the appropriate hashtag for your post and niche.<br />
Using them properly will not just help you gain more followers, they can also increase<br />
your likes and comments.<br />
Check out the profiles of the people or businesses in your niche and see what kind of<br />
tags they are using.
