How to Use Instagram for Business

Shooting Fine Pictures to Make Your Business Popular

Pictures, when taken properly, can convey more than a thousand words. Make your business known to the growing community of budding photographers and image lovers in Instagram. Take pictures of your products artfully arranged and filtered to inspire wonder in your viewers. With Instagram, you can increase your popularity and make more people come to your store.

Whether you own a flower shop, an arts and crafts gallery or a clothing retail outlet, Instagram can let you make your business well-liked and admired by Instagram users. This photo-sharing application has more than 40 million subscribers. Just imagine your wide reach to potential customers when you use Instagram! If you’ve managed to attract five people, this number will gradually increase once you’ve gained mastery of taking pictures and using this application. Learning how to make your pictures prettier and more alluring would also increase your chances.

How do you make your photos intriguing enough to catch attention?

Apply professional tricks to create interesting photos. Play with the angle of the camera and shoot from below, above or the sides. Pick the most attention-grabbing images from your series. You can also tilt the camera or compose the scene you’re taking to accommodate the whole space in the photo. Contrasting angles that naturally lead your viewers’ eyes from one edge to the other make it look like your pictures are moving. This livens up the images.

Zoom your lens to capture the fine details. Beauty appears when one detail is sometimes emphasized. Dewdrops on a pristine white rose can make it look fresh, untouched and appealing to look at. Make your pictures absorbing to gaze upon. Focus on the laugh lines on your grandparent’s face or the bird that flits over the branches of a high tree.

If you need to show the background in your picture, make sure that there are no distracting elements like a colorful curtain or smudge on the wall. These elements can take away the attention of the viewer from the subject of the picture. If you’re shooting a portrait, make the focus stay on your subject instead of the flower hanging over his or head. Better yet, take away flower and clean up the surroundings a bit. This will help make the viewer’s attention stay on the subject.

Using Instagram will help increase interest in your business. Engage your followers with a personal post once in a while. This will connect you more to them, which can only bode well for your venture.
