INSTAGRAM’s biggest cliches

Some people manage to post true works of art on Instagram, but most unthinkingly copy what others have done a thousand times. That’s just dandy but I hope I am allowed to get very irritated and filter all of these clichés and present them to you? Here it goes.

Macarons

Lots of them and preferably soft pink or yellow. With a good backdrop – a nice sunset for instance, or a very hip lunchroom.

10 filters

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

HEALTH FOOD

Cups of soy yoghurt and blueberries always do well. Or crackers with cream cheese. Or anything with watercress.

Donuts

Same category as the macarons. Bloggers seem to LOVE these.

flowers. PREFERABLY with you own feet in the picture 

At a flower stall with thousands of perfect tulips, roses or whatever. Of course, flowers are excellent photographic material..

CAPPUCCINO. PREFERABLY WITH a wrist full of bracelets

That’s been Instagram’s nickname for a long time: the place to show off your coffee. Preferably with great latte art.

MacBook in bed, which is naturally all white

Because everything has to be as white as possible and your MacBook is the perfect subject for making a pretty, unutterably boring pic.

Selfie without a purpose

What irritates me most: a very good selfie with the text ‘sleepy’. Or ‘hello world!’ I mean, come on!
