HOW I EDIT MY INSTAGRAM PHOTOS

by - Thursday, July 12, 2018


I get a lot of DMs asking me how I edit my Instagram photos. I always try and answer those as thoroughly as I can because, knowing from my own experience when I was first starting out and spending countless hours attempting to figure out how many favorite IG accounts edited their photos, nothing is more frustrating than reading a comment that says "I use VSCO". But even a lengthily comment or DM isn't enough to truly convey someone's editing style, so I figured it was high time I put together a post for anyone who is interested in knowing my process.

I've been trying and trying to edit my photos for the past years using and bought a lot of editing apps. But then, I didn't found my forte till now I want my feed to look nice, so I always experiment hue colors and filters. Before I will start, I would like to make something clear; My Instagram is not my real life, I just love to be creative as it comes to my pictures. Some people call it fake, I call it content. Since everyone's content is different, I don't assume that you like mine.

I stick to this one since I'm into nature right now, so here it is!

APPS THAT I'M USING TO EDIT MY PHOTOS

Personally, I prefer to edit my photo's on my phone. It is way easier and so much fun to use a lot of different apps.

  • LIGHTROOM CC MOBILE APP
  • PREVIEW APP (I pay for the filters)
  • FACETUNE (only if necessary)
