In our class, Elevating Your Instagram Game with Photos, Filters, and Edits, we walk you through all the insider tips to create stunning Instagram visuals—no advanced tech skills required.

What You’ll Learn in the Class

This class is designed to make Instagram photo editing simple and fun. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s covered:

1. Start with a Quality Photo

Before we even get to filters, you need a great photo. Here are a few tips:

• Wipe your lens: Makeup smudges and fingerprints can ruin a shot. Keep wipes handy!
• Find good lighting: Natural light is your best friend. Snap your pics near a window or outside for clear, vibrant photos.
• Angles and Posing: Try creating "triangles" with your arms or legs. It sounds funny, but visually, it’s super appealing and makes your photos more dynamic. 

2. Filters and Edits: The Dynamic Duo

Instagram has a ton of filters, but the real magic happens when you layer filters with edits. In this class, we’ll walk you through how to:

• Find the best filters: We’ll show you our top picks like "Polaroid 2.0" and "Magazine," and explain how each one adds a unique touch to your photos.
• Layer with edits: Adjust brightness, contrast, and sharpness after applying a filter to make your photo really pop.
