Photographer Shares His 5 Tips For Taking Instagram Photos That Look Like Every Other Instagram Photo

WORLDWIDE --- Young, successful photographer Conor McDonnell recently shared his five tips for taking Instagram photos that look like every other Instagram photo, which have been condensed below:

1. Use natural lighting. "Lighting is everything. For the millionth time, lighting is everything.

2. Follow the rule of thirds. "You could Google this, but why not ask the entire internet and see what happens?

3. Mess with the exposure. "On the iPhone, which, let's face it, everyone uses for real photography, tap the screen and slide your greasy finger up and down. Voilà!

4. Edit the crap out of your photo. "Use Snapseed, VSCO Cam, Costco Cam, or any other million apps that all pretty much do the same thing. Don't stop until your photo looks nothing like real life.

5. Hashtag the snot out of your post. "Also, for the millionth time, use a lot of hashtags. Especially if they have nothing to do with your photo. #blessed #instagood #keto. That's how you become a world-renowned photographer. You're welcome."

At publishing time, McDonnell had announced a sixth tip: Slap a watermark on your photo even though it makes your photo look 10% worse.
