Get fabulously Insta-savvy with Here Comes The Sun Blog
Hi everyone, it's Amanda from Here
Comes the Sun. I'm here today to share with you a few of my top tips
for improving and growing your instagram account. Here are some of the tricks
that have helped me grow my instagram to 17,000+ and I hope they help
you too!
• Think before you post: This
is probably my number one rule. Not every moment of your day needs to be
uploaded to instagram, so just pick the highlights. My personal rule of thumb
is no more than two images per day and I space them out rather than posting one
after the other. You don't want to overwhelm your followers - if i scroll
through my feed and it's completely clogged up by one person, I'll usually
unfollow them and I know other people do the same.
• Composition and balance: It's
important to think about how your image will fit into a square and how to frame
it up nicely. White space and balance are so important but it's also good to
play around with cropping too. Unless you want every photo to look similar
(which is fine, many people go for a 'look' they want their photos to fit with)
it's good to play with the cropping and see what works for you. Sometimes a
close up of a detail works better than trying to fit the whole image into the
frame!

Amanda is a blogger based in Auckland who documents her adventures, personal style, photography & inspiration. Her blog has a mixture of outfit posts, places she visits & documents, other artist's work & more. If you love stunning photography then you need to visit this blog because Amanda's images always look amazing.
Love these sequinned cuffs! I'm a bit obsessed with sequined detailing at the moment.
What really strikes me about Amanda's blog is how perfectly composed everything is. I love her outfit posts in particular to daydream about what I'd wear if I had the money & then all the cute cafes & eateries she reviews. As I live in Auckland I am often looking for cute little places to explore & adventure to, Here Comes The Sun has introduced me to many of my current favourite places & online stores to explore. It has also inspired me to improve my Photography, both for the images I take blogging & during every day life.
