Ideas for original Instagram photos
Mini photo shoot with a pet. Collage story. Food photo. Beautiful city spots, interesting pose. Look/character in a series. Books or quotes. Uniqueness and creativity matter more than trends.
Photography using reflections
Reflections add depth and dimension. Surface: mirror, window, water. Experiment with angle and perspective. Composition and light. Contrasting colors for impact.
Reflection in water
Lake, pond, puddle; calm water. Focus on reflection. Glass sphere for hemisphere effect. Play with elements on water. Reflection for story and mood.
Reflection in glass
Glass in front of objects; clean surface. Angles and light. You can use a mirror or puddle.
Reflection in mirror
Full-length mirror — double effect. Small mirror — outfit details. Several mirrors at angles. Water or window instead of mirror. Mirror for depth and abstractions.
Architectural shots
Lines and geometry, perspective and angle. Editing and filters, B&W or sepia. Environment and people for scale. Dawn and dusk light. Hashtags and captions.
Symmetrical buildings
Harmony and square format. Different angles; straight lines for composition.
Unusual angles
From below, from above, from the side. Perspective, symmetry and asymmetry. Objects upside down or in reflection. Miniature effect. Experiment.
