INSTAGRAM



Most people have a mobile phone. Most mobile phones have a camera. Most mobile phones have photo editing apps on them...Instagram is one of the most popular of these.
It has so many options to change a simple photo into a vintage, modern, vibrant, muted beautiful photograph, not to mention the frames or blurring techniques. These images are some of my favourite taken over the past few weeks using the 'Sierra' filter that is similar to a medium format polaroid.
The app is so attractive that I am now finding myself thinking about photography more than ever before. Eating, drinking, walking, reading and even at work, I am always snapping away and looking at how it can be enhanced.
I know that most professional photographers may argue that its taking the creative technique out of photography as its all ready made and takes two seconds to transform the dullest of photos. I would have to disagree... it encourages anyone with an interest in photograph to get involved and shoot on the go which is  hard to do if you are working (even as a photographer!).

  1. Can you split images into the frames via instagram?
    E.g. I would like 4 different pictures in 4 different frames but one photo
