Updated How I Edit my Instagram Photos + Blue and Orange Toned Theme

Updated How I Edit my Instagram Photos + Blue and Orange Toned Theme

Hope you like this video:



Additional tips for an awesome Instagram Feed:

The common misconception of people is that a good Instagram feed depends on the filters they use but it is actually the photo that you chose in the first place that will show how cohesive your feed is. So pick carefully the photos that you are going to post. Make sure that it suits your feed well.

I don't really have a fixed setting when it comes about tuning your photos on Snapseed. The adjustments hugely depend on the photo itself but what I mostly adjust is the brightness, contrast, saturation, ambiance and warmth. Your goal here is to maintain the amount of light of all the photos that you took.

Everybody wants a crispy image because it gives the impression that you took a high quality photo. To do that, I go the details and just play with structure and sharpen, making sure that the photo is crispy but not too much.

White balance balances the blue and orange tones of the photos.
When the photo is too blueish which is this photo, I increase the temperature to add a slight orange tone to it. And vice versa for orange-toned photos by default.

I don't use a specific filter for all the photos BUT I do stick on the same collection of filters. The collection of themes that I mostly use in majority of my photos are filters C4-C9 or E1-E8. Remember that each photo is different and so does filters. So the trick is to have a good eye on which filter among this collection is suitable for the photo that you are editing.


I hope you guys find this helpful in case you're still deciding for a new Instagram Theme.

Instagram Feed Style Inspo

My blog posts about Instagram is probably the "most popular" blog posts on my blog with views ranging from 800-1300 each. Hence, I made another Instagram-related blog for you guys. *wink*wink*

Just so you know I made a very similar blog post a year ago entitled Instagram Feed Inspirations: Minimal. But what this post's difference from that is that it focuses more on the style and layout of their feed and not only filter-wise.

Just by looking at my Instagram Feed, you can probably tell that I don't have the best feed on the Instagram social platform but I'm trying guys...I'm really trying to make my feed work.

If you've visited my Instagram account and wondering "what filter do you use?" You can go check on How I edit my Instagram Photos using only my phone's applications like Snapseed and VSCO. That was my feed about a year ago and things change so as my feed. I have a different style of my feed now hence I'm planning to make an updated one.

Moreover, if you're wondering on what filters you should use in creating a nice Instagram feed, then I have formulated a few Instagram Feed Ideas to give you more of an idea about feed filters.

Okay. So I am going to be mentioning Instagram accounts that I think are an epitome of "feed goals." Take note that these accounts are accounts that I really love and I truly follow on Instagram and keeps me more motivated to be creative on my feed.

This is the account I adore when it comes about flatlays. Flatlay is a way of showcasing items in a bird's eye view and arrange the items in an aesthetic and creative manner. I first encountered flatlays on Instagram.

@ALEXETIAWAN_'s Instagram feed showcases minimal flatlays with white backdrops and mostly monochromatic subjects which is very pleasing to the eye. When it comes about minimal flatlays, his instagram feed will definitely inspire you.

Okay. I just recently found about Brandon Woelfel and his models on his photos are mostly YouTubers. But regardless of that, he is an awesome and very talented photographer. His photos are stunning. The common theme that I notice on his feed is that his filters are more on the cool side. I think I saw on his Instragram stories that he edits via Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom.

Not only that, his photos have bokeh effect and light leaks. He uses fairy lights, sparklers or neon signs on the background that produces a what I can say magical effect on his photos which makes it more remarkable and unique on its own way. If you check his Instagram stories more often, you will know on how many pictures he take to find the perfect photo. If you want to know more on he takes his photos, you can check Alexa Losey's video featuring Brandon Woelfel to know more tips and tricks.

It's probably not for everyone but if you want to venture out and take your photography skills into a whole new level, then you can definitely get inspiration from his photos.

This is a different level of creativity. His Instagram feed features an endless collage of pictures known as moodboard related to fashion. To be honest, I don't have any idea on he does this kind of feed. It's probably unthinkable to manage this kind of unique feed but this account proves that it is possible to make such creative Instagram feed.

I'm sure most of you knew her and have seen some of her photos on Tumblr. But what really stood out on her feed is its grungy vibe. It's simple, minimal, and grungy. It's definitely one of the coolest feeds and Instagram pictures because it's so bold and unique.

Raise your hand if you love books. /raises both hands/
When I first started Instagram, I have no idea that bookstagram is a thing. There are a lot more bookstagram accounts out there and @kath_reads is one of them. I love how she executed the books on her instagram feed. The photos altogether look clean and pleasing to the eye and motivates me to read more books to be honest. She uses different props on her photos like scented candles, flowers, and coffee. If you're interested in making a bookstagram account, definitely check her feed because it a total inspiration. And if you're (like me) in a reading slump, just browse through her photos and you will absolutely be motivated to read again (and also to take creative instagram pictures for your feed).

If your aesthetic is about bizarre photoshop-like edits, then you should undoubtedly check this Instagram account.

This account features surrealistic style of photos. I really love on how imaginative her photos were like you're in some kind of fantasy book from producing lightning from her hands to swinging above the ocean. Her photos make you thing outside the box. Moreover, you don't have to learn Adobe Photoshop to edit like she does. You can definitely use the phone app Picsart to execute such great photo.


Here is a bonus account that I think is adorable :)

I mean, who doesn't love pugs? Who doesn't think that pugs are not cute? No one.
I love Pugs so much with all my heart. It's so sad that I don't have my own pug but if I feel like I crave for a puggy cuteness, I will immediately head over to this account. Just so you know, it's not a personal account but an account that features different pug pictures from different accounts. So you're not only seeing a single pug but MANY kinds of pugs, black, fawn, small, big, chubby, playful, sleepy, hungry, meme-worthy and many more all of which are adorable in different ways but pugs all at the same time (hahaha).
     So what are you waiting for?


Okay so here are just a few accounts that I think showcases different styles of Instagram feeds. But thee question is, what is the very common theme of these accounts?
They are unique in their own ways.
It's okay to get inspiration from other accounts. There's nothing wrong with that. But remember to keep on creating and boost your creativity that by getting inspiration from these accounts. By getting motivated, you are able to make your own style. I am still in the stage of keeping myself inspired and trying to experiment and venturing things. I don't have my own personal style yet, but maybe someday I will. And always remember to not be too stressed about your feed. People might say that your Instagram feed is not beautiful or any negative opinions about it but it's your thing. You can't please everyone. Do what makes you happy and if you're contented with the pictures you post, then it's fine. That's one of the greatest things on a platform such as Instagram is that it hones your creativity in layouting photos and producing great photos in general.

 I will surely research more Instagram accounts with amazing feeds. If you have awesome and unique accounts that you think deserve to be on the list, you can message me from my social accounts on the right side of my blog and I will surely check them out.

A quick disclaimer, I am not encouraging anyone to repost any of the photos on these accounts to your personal account because that would be an act of plagiarism. These accounts that are featured are only meant to be an inspiration to people who are wanting to venture on different Instagram feed styles. Thank you.

Must-Have Filters in VSCO Cam

Must-have VSCO Filters


I must admit that I am a big fan of this famous photo editing app--VSCO Cam, and it has been part of my "Essential Apps" list on my phone. I actually got all the filters and, I know, you don't need [or have] to get or purchase all filters. There are filters that, well, seem "agreeable" when it comes to building quality photos (probably for your Instagram feed).
