Next Level Instagram
These days a lot of people are asking me how to either 1. Start their instagram
or 2. Take their instagram to the next level because they haven’t seen the
growth they’re looking for. 9/10 times I go to someone’s instagram page when
they ask this it’s because they’re NOT doing this ONE thing.
Now if you’re a photographer, you’ll get this right away. It’s COMPOSITION. I’ll
show you some apps later in this book that you can use to better compose your
feed. For now, Let’s focus on the composition of each individual picture we’re
posting! This will change the game for you and help you start to identify what’s
a little “off” when you don’t really know what’s “off”. You just have a feeling
@TravelingNextLevel 11
Rule of 3rds!
Wikipedia states that the rule of 3rd is, “The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a
subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the
top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to
Now, before I go into examples understand that this is just one rule…It’s not a law!
Photography is all about the art and sometimes rules are meant to be broken, this rule
is meant to expose you to something that can take your composition to the next level!
Just doing this alone will fix 90% of your issues with your instagram feed. So here are
some examples!
In this example you can see what Wikipedia is talking about. The horizontal lines are
there to place the horizon which gives the viewer the ability to focus more on the sky
as opposed to the land. On the Vertical lines they’ve placed the lighthouse which is
the main focus on the photograph. They could have put the lighthouse in the center
but it probably wouldn’t have looked as powerful or as well “put together”. These are
the small things that will help you take a picture from one level and upgrade it to the
next.
@TravelingNextLevel 12
In the picture above I personally think it would have looked better with the horizon on
the bottom horizontal line, but that’s what makes photography so great! Either way,
this example is perfect for one reason!!! In the rule of thirds, if there is a subject
looking one direction. You typically want that person looking in the direction where
there is more space! If you were to place the subject on the left horizontal line and
they’re looking left, then it’d look “off”. The reason is because there would be more
space behind the subject and that would just make it feel unnatural because your
REMEMBER: If the subject is looking in a certain direction, leave the empty space in
the same direction that they’re looking towards. So, if you are taking a portrait and
the subject is looking towards the left, place them on that grid line on the right.
Below is an example: There’s more space behind the subject and it just looks “off”.
@TravelingNextLevel 13
Here’s the thing, this is an INTRO into the “rule of 3rds” and composition of
research around it and remember, all you need to use is your phone! :)
When you go into your phone’s camera you should see these gridlines. NOW
USE THEM!!!! If you don’t see them, then google how you can get them on
there! I’m pretty sure all phones at this point have the ability to show you the

You're left more confused than when you started. Wasting your time trying to find

@TravelingNextLevel
As an influencer, if you want to get PAID then you have to provide VALUE. I’ve
invested a lot of $$ into courses, master classes, and webinars. Why though? IT
MAKES SENSE. I pay someone else to learn a valuable skillset, in order to make
more $$. As an influencer, you have to get used to paying others constantly, TO
GET MORE VALUE. Paying others for presets to make your photos better, virtual
assistants to run campaigns, better influencers to learn how to get brand deals.
It’s business 101! Invest in your business to produce more profit. Example; pay a
company to run your marketing, produce more money by selling more product.

how much I can help you, and how much you can trust in helping you become

Here’s one thing I won’t pretend to know. I don’t know your life
situation, what’s going on etc. I would like to, but I don’t. However,

The question you have to ask yourself is what’s more important. Your
dreams? Or all of these little obstacles that you know you can
