I will preface this article with a disclaimer: I am not a professional photographer and I’m not a professional photo editor. You’re here to learn how to edit photos for Instagram, or wherever it is that you post them. When life gives you lemons, as they say…Īnyway! You’re not here to read about personal development and self-improvement. So, if there’s one positive that has come out of being quarantined, it’s that I finally took the time to do & learn things I otherwise would never have gotten to. Now that we’ve been stuck inside for nearly 5 months, I’ve had a LOT of time to “hone my craft” even further, and I feel like I’ve definitely found my groove in terms of editing photos and creating a more cohesive Instagram feed + overall brand. It has been a gradual learning process for me ever since then-lots of trial and error, lots of bad (and I mean really bad) photos, and hours upon hours of studying editing techniques from talented photographers and creators via YouTube tutorials (and TikTok!)

When I started thinking about leaving my job to become a full-time content creator back in 2018, I knew that if I wanted to be taken seriously, I needed to level up my photo editing.
