THE BIGGEST CLICHÉS OF INSTAGRAM

Some people really know how to create amazing little artworks from the photos they post on Instagram, but most get bogged down in mindlessly copying what others have already done a thousand times. Totally fine, but can I then just be really annoyed by that AND filter out all the clichés to present to you? Here we go.

Macarons

Preferably a lot and preferably light pink or light yellow. And then with a nice background, a beautiful sunset for example, or a very trendy lunch spot.

Ten filters

So that there is nothing left of the original photo and you can feel like a Very Good Photographer.

Healthy eating stuff

Containers with soy yogurt and blueberries always do well. Or crackers with cottage cheese. Or anything with arugula on it.

Donuts

Fall into the same category as macarons. Bloggers are crazy about these.

Flowers. Preferably with their own feet on them.

At a flower stall with ten thousand perfect tulips, roses, or whatever. Because flowers are very photogenic of course.

Cappuccino. Preferably with their own wrist with arm party on it.

This is how Instagram was long referred to: the place to showcase your coffee. Preferably with nice latte art.

MacBook in bed, which is of course completely white.

Because everything should be as white as possible, and your MacBis also ideal for making a nice and deadly boring picture.

Selfie without a clear purpose

My biggest irritation: a very well-taken selfie and then with the text “sleepy”. Or “hello world!” Really, come on now.
