BECOME A STORYTELLER

Now that you have a solid understanding of how to compose and edit your images and have mastered the outfit shot and selfie, it’s time to think about all the other amazing stuff in your life that you want to share every day.

If you’re anything like me, you’re into way more than just fashion (even though you might consider a two-hour wait for a Jimmy Choo sample sale perfectly acceptable). There’s so much incredible food to capture (and consume), beautiful sunsets to snap (and watch), relaxing pool days to document (and enjoy), and, of course, your nearest-and-dearest squad—all deserving a spot on your grid.

So just how do you decide what to capture and when to post? I’m an advocate of naturally documenting your day in a way that feels inspiring, as well as planning in advance. There’s an art to choosing your subjects and presenting them as a narrative, a way that helps show the complete story of your incredibly cool life.

By the end of this chapter, you’ll be a pro at the following:

• Apple versus arm swag: how to choose your subjects wisely.

• The best techniques for taking photos of food, travel, and décor—three of my favorite things.

• The art of telling a story with a beginning, middle, and end through your grid.

• How to effectively take a flat lay (and, uh, what a flat lay even is).

• Avoiding—and embracing!—dreaded Instagram clichés.

• How to turn Instagram into your own personal city guide.

Let’s go—more picture taking awaits!
