If you’re shooting on a camera, my BIGGEST piece of advice would be to shoot in RAW rather than JPG. The tutorial below will apply to both iPhone photos and photos shot on a camera. The Adobe Lightroom mobile app is free, but if you want it on your desktop, it’s around $9.99/month.EDITING SOFTWARE: Adobe Lightroom (I prefer to use “Lightroom CC” because it uses cloud-based storage and syncs with the Lightroom mobile app the other option is Lightroom Classic, which has some additional capabilities, but lacks the cloud feature).LENS: Sony 28-70 mm lens (kit lens that came with camera).CAMERA: Sony A7iii Full Frame Mirrorless Camera (Lower Priced Option: Sony A7ii).(There are a number of other things that I’ve come to really appreciate about the XPS that I’ll get into later!) Thank you to Dell for sponsoring this post! You can tell just by looking at the photos of my screen throughout this post how insanely vibrant the display is. I love editing on the Dell XPS because I find the image quality to be better than my Mac.Let’s begin! How I Edit Photos for Instagram Things I Use: The advice that I’m sharing is purely how I edit my Instagram photos - but remember that there’s no right or wrong way! Everyone has their own taste and style. I do, however, make a living from the photos and content that I post, so do with that what you will. I will preface this article with a disclaimer: I am not a professional photographer and I’m not a professional photo editor. You’re here to learn how to edit photos for Instagram, or wherever it is that you post them. When life gives you lemons, as they say…Īnyway! You’re not here to read about personal development and self-improvement.
So, if there’s one positive that has come out of being quarantined, it’s that I finally took the time to do & learn things I otherwise would never have gotten to. Now that we’ve been stuck inside for nearly 5 months, I’ve had a LOT of time to “hone my craft” even further, and I feel like I’ve definitely found my groove in terms of editing photos and creating a more cohesive Instagram feed + overall brand. It has been a gradual learning process for me ever since then-lots of trial and error, lots of bad (and I mean really bad) photos, and hours upon hours of studying editing techniques from talented photographers and creators via YouTube tutorials (and TikTok!)
When I started thinking about leaving my job to become a full-time content creator back in 2018, I knew that if I wanted to be taken seriously, I needed to level up my photo editing.
