Instagram Rules
These are the arbitrary rules I keep to for my Instagram account.
Must
- Square crop only
- Shot on phone
- No filter
- No videos
- No latergram
Should
- Be as sharp as possible
- Use the horizon
- Have no people
- Minimize hashtags
- Tag locations sparingly
The account doesn’t perfectly conform to these rules, especially in my older photos (that use filters or have people), but I feel like it’s more important to leave the old photos up than to take them down for the sake of purity.
