All that goes to say that, if you want to learn how to take better Instagram travel photos, we understand why. And we’ve got your back with these tips.

Don’t Be Shy

Yes, taking photos in public can be a little bit awkward sometimes. Whether you’re crouching down to get the right angle, doing exaggerated poses, or using a selfie stick, it can be a little embarrassing. But you have nothing to be ashamed of, and who cares about people who might judge you?

Accessorize

Speaking of selfie sticks, there are plenty of tools that can make your travel Instagrams even better like selfie sticks, tripods, and remote controls. They’re all pretty affordable and make a huge difference, so why not try them out?

Do Your Own Thing

If you spend a lot of time on Instagram, you’ve probably already seen dozens of photos of people at the location you’re visiting. But don’t fall into the trap of just recreating those photos. Try to approach it with a fresh perspective and find your own unique way to photograph.
