![]() ![]() You don't have to have a niche to keep things consistent. Thinking about gallery walls can really help you curate your instagram feed honestly! I don't post that many lifestyle photos at the moment for obvious reasons, with us being confined to our homes, but I made sure the photos that followed the forest snap I posted were nice and light so that I didn't have a random dark area on my feed. It won't look good, just like it wouldn't look good like that if you put two dark frames on a wall in a line and then added three lighter ones on the end. Don't post two dark photos in a row and then three lighter ones. If you tend to post a mixture of light and dark photos, try to mix these up so that you end up with a sort of 'pattern' if that makes sense. You can also alter the undertones from green or purple to help keep the tones of the photo the same too. It's okay to change it up whenever you like, as long as you stick with it for a while so that you end up with at least four rows where you've kept it as close as you can! You can alter the temperature of a photo on most editing apps but I would personally recommend the Lightroom app for this as it tends to work better without making your photo look really blue or yellow depending on whether you are cooling it down or warming it up. I'm always changing the temperature of my grid as sometimes I prefer a cooler toner and other times I prefer something a bit warmer. Presets can help this but not always as it ultimately depends on what type of photo you take, what the lighting is like, what time of day it is, etc. I think the most important thing to focus on when you're curating your grid is to try and stick to a certain temperature when editing all of your photos. Therefore it can be a little bit harder to keep things tying in together when you're sharing a mixture of portraits and flat lays to outdoors and home interior snaps. I tend to focus on sharing my life and things I love rather than sticking to something specific, which I think is what most instagrammers do these days. ![]() You can see that my grid is made up of lots of different styles of photography, that's because I don't really have a 'niche' and I just share whatever I like/is relative to me at the time. You may not think my grid is your idea of a cohesive grid either, but to be honest, I'm not sure why you're here reading my tips if that's the case. However, I'm constantly working really hard on creating my idea of the perfect grid and most of the time I use a grid planner to get it looking close to spot on. Or sometimes I like to be a bit more instant (most of my insta photos are taken the same day to be fair!) and it doesn't fit in perfectly but I just upload it anyway. I'd be lying if I said mine looks perfect all of the time, sometimes I can have brand work that needs to go live and doesn't quite fit in with my grid at that exact time. ![]() You're just portraying a selection of your own photographs rather than ones you have purchased. Well, think of your instagram grid like a gallery wall - there really isn't much difference. ![]() The image for this post is pretty fitting, when you create a gallery wall in your home, you usually want it to all tie in together and look cohesive and colour coordinated. ![]()
