How to find instagram spots on your next beach trip?
After every beach trip I always receive questions from several people asking me "Where did you take that photo?" or "Which part of the beach is that?". We have endless spots on where to stand, pose, and shoot for our instagrams and other social apps. It is limitless, let your imagination take your photo game higher than you could ever imagine. One reason why I love the ocean so much is because everything is instagram worthy, yes, everything is photogenic, from the water to the sand to the palms and even the horizon, name it. With the basic knowledge in photography, a bit of modelling skills, a good natural lighting, and a good eye in photography, you can achieve your #IGgoal photos.
Here are some pointers in eyeing for an instagrammable spot in the beach
The leaves, the darkness of the leaves wont let you down. Find a tree, or a plant, or wall covered with leaves, use it as your background or try doing crazy stuff like climbing that tree or just sit on it, be creative.
The rock formations, rock formations look good in camera, the details, the way the shadows were casted, the shades in color, it just brings the photo to life. Its a good background. If you wanna take a photo of yourself.
The shadows, play with shadows, if you can make love with the light then you can make love with the shadows too. Work the shadows out use it to give more details on your photo.
Lastly, the shore, the most important spot in taking a beach photograph, imagine, how would you call it a beach photo if there's no even beach on it. So, yes the beach is the most instagram friendly spot, you could just lay on the sand or sit or even just stand, with the good eye in photography you can easily achieve the photos that you want.
