    So many flailing arms in this one! 😂Are you using an app to plan your Instagram feed?

    • @Meliza.Hernandez
      @Meliza.Hernandez Před 5 lety +1

      No, never ever thought of using a planning app. Like DUH!! RIGHT! thank you for this vlog! 👌😘

    • @Meliza.Hernandez
      @Meliza.Hernandez Před 5 lety +1

      You should post those AMAZING PICTURES OF NY on your feed. But I see you have OCD. LOL

      @paulAntill Před 5 lety +1

      I've had good luck using hootsuite and later. Need to get more in the habit of actually keeping up with it. You wouldn't realise at first, how much work actually goes into curating a feed.

    • @Shalaco
      @Shalaco Před 5 lety

      I use Lightroom mobile for initial curation, editing and to lightning fast transfer to my phone. Then I use Preview to see them "In-grid". It's amazing how much context can change an image.

    • @TtoTheOmarse
      @TtoTheOmarse Před 5 lety

      I use Unfold for my stories. I'm a casual user but it seems to do the job well enough for me. Oh, and x2 respect multiplier for continuing to use words other than hack. Love it. More professional, less clickbait. :)

    Love these ideas for a consistent Instagram grid! It's all about that visual appeal, right? I've been experimenting with boost app social lately. It's pretty cool for crafting bios and captions that match my feed's vibe.

    • @danyaschamberger
      @danyaschamberger Před 8 měsíci

      Totally vibing with that app! Makes everything so much smoother on my end. Keeps the IG hustle real!

    When shots don't match, group them in a carrousel. Make sure the first image matches. Or share on stories 💁

    5 reasons why I love / hate Becki - Her relaxed demeanor, her obsession to her aesthetic, her God given gift, her organizational skill, and how she makes it look so darn easy. FAVORITE CZcamsr

    @papabless6850 Před 4 lety +27

    I liked the video, just a good tip for anyone curious about keeping a consistent feed while changing up the style, tone, or color's is making a subtle transitions with each post. Peter McKinnon has a really good video on how he dose it with the changing sessions (ie. Fall to Winter)
    Just thought I would leave a comment bc while keeping photos consistent feed is important it's nice to change it up.

  • @Wariki
    @Wariki Před 5 lety

    I think the most important is the color that we choose in our feed on Instagram. Each seasons have a certain color theme & sometimes I goof off on the color theme of the season because I see some new content but different colors. Thus why I love the color theme of you guys becki&chris! It appeals my eye in much calmer & touch of modern!

  • @Shalaco
    @Shalaco Před 5 lety +96

    OMG who else struggles with this?! Posting consistently while keeping those tones in check. 😬

    • @Neal-Networks
      @Neal-Networks Před 3 měsíci

      That’s what brought me to this video. Like how!?

  • @gusmiller
    @gusmiller Před 5 lety +20

    You could always start to introduce purples, and oranges to your regular shots then slowly make the transition to the sunset shots then do the reverse to go back to the regular colour scheme. Could look pretty nice on the feed and serves as a way to add colour without breaking the aesthetic

  • @TheFuryeagle
    @TheFuryeagle Před 5 lety

    I found your channel few days ago and i really love your videos. The way you edit them, the energy, colors, shots, everything is so on point. I can't imagine how much work it takes to create those. Cheers!

  • @jarodlovekamp7955

    Can’t wait to get into this one!! Consistency in editing is so difficult sometimes but your grid definitely is all looking amazing and consistent

  • @TheRcty
    @TheRcty Před 3 lety +1

    Thank you for sharing! LOVE your aesthetic! sooo pleasing to look at!

  • @Mtanic
    @Mtanic Před 4 lety +11

    I don't want to constrain myself to one color scheme, but I want consistency, so I came up with the following: I started creating and posting 9*9 thematic puzzles, so only each puzzle is consistent and the next one has its own personality. But I still try, when going from one puzzle to the other, to make the transition smooth.

    • @itx_alish
      @itx_alish Před rokem

      Can you share your insta page so i can check? I also don't want to stick with one theme

  • @benjaminwhatever
    @benjaminwhatever Před 5 lety

    Totally agree! You crushed this. So true, it's hard to transition between seasons

  • @Dlovellpf
    @Dlovellpf Před 3 lety

    Great video 👍🏻 just print an album of your favourite shots evey year, keep those for yourself and watch your improvements across the years 🧡 keep up the great work!

  • @TomasWilliams
    @TomasWilliams Před 5 lety +1

    Thank you Becki! Love these tips, have needed a bit of a push lately and wasn't sure what to do. ♥

  • @mathurim.5963
    @mathurim.5963 Před 4 lety +11

    Use insta stories to use the photos that don’t match your feed! Use highlight covers to still keep consistent, but I say have a theme to your insta stories too

  • @mariaalejandrapena9989
    @mariaalejandrapena9989 Před 5 lety +2

    Hi! Recently I'm planning to start to use Instagram in a more organized way. Thank you for your tips!
    Maybe, when we have a beautiful photo that we want to share but it doesn't match with the grill, as in your case, we can use Instagram Stories so we still sharing it or even for longer using Highlight for every style.

  • @akashgupta-rc3wy
    @akashgupta-rc3wy Před 4 lety

    I just loved the intro. Probably one of the best intros I've seen recently on yt. 😍😍

  • @iceman10129
    @iceman10129 Před 2 lety

    Something that I have been liking as far as the consistency topic is being consistent over say 30 shots and then moving to a new theme that gets its own 30 shots. Treating it like collections.

  • @Moses_57
    @Moses_57 Před 5 lety

  • @JerriBerriW
    @JerriBerriW Před 5 lety

    Becki! You're always my source of inspirations! Now I want to strategize my INS feed with a more holistic point of view... I was also attempting to incorporate my fav color 'purple' into all my creations but found it hard to make anything really shine with this concept behind. It's a difficult color despite the fact that I love it! After watching your video, now I am thinking to try some purple presets to utilize my feed and ultimately make that my style! Will report back. ❤Love, Jerri

    Yet another deadly video full of exciting ways to step up your game 😊😊 Unless you guys have already done this and I have just missed it, any chance on making a video on how you create you favorite presets in LR? I love a dope preset, but would also enjoy learning how to create my own.

  • @eolasinstruments
    @eolasinstruments Před 5 lety +3

    I shoot mostly black and white and didn't like when I had a random color image to throw in and make the feed seem sloppy. So, I decided on a sort of "rule of thirds" posting approach. I have to have at least three of either b/w or color posted before moving on to the other. It helps it feel organized. I often post six or nine b/w to every three color, but those strips of color feel intentional.
    Might help with those moments of having epic skylines that don't match!

    • @chrisharrison5974
      @chrisharrison5974 Před 3 lety

      I love this idea 🤩. I am currently struggling with my new business Insta account to get the feel I want to convey but think it might be too stark. Sooo back to the drawing board 👍🥰💕

  • @AGVME
    @AGVME Před 5 lety +2

    I struggle really hard with this. I chalk it up to only being 2 years in the game. I'm still experimenting with tons of portrait styles and looking for what I like the most + learning new skillsets (studio vs outside, even lighting vs dramatic shadows, tons of color vs desaturated, BW vs any color at all). It frustrates me to try to keep some sort of consistent grid because of this. There's just so much to photography that it's hard to stick to one look just for the sake of a feed/brand :\

  • @luizalouyoga
    @luizalouyoga Před 3 lety

    Very helpful! Thank you! And yeah... I think my biggest problem is that I want to show people how beautiful the place was, or the original colors and all.. but yeah.. gotta choose.

    Good video! I have been several time deleted some photos and put it again but I'm not sure about my feed, I love the ocean and sunsets but sometimes those sunsets are so beautiful but too strong in colors.

  • @AronBagel
    @AronBagel Před 5 lety +2

    6:35 Hey look it's me!
    Also bonus tip, a super easy way to get a more consistent look in your feed is creating a checkerboard pattern by alternating light and dark images. It's especially useful when you're still trying to develop a style or theme, as it just helps tying everything together!

    @CharlesLScofieldJr Před 5 lety

    I noticed the Voigtlander camera @3:01, very cool. I have one that I inherited from my father. It was his retirement gift his men gave him when he retired from the Army back in 1967. Sadly I haven't really used it as it is totally manual everything. Need to find someone to school me on its use and features.

  • @tbcreative562
    @tbcreative562 Před 3 lety +1

    Do you find that it can inhibit your creativity sometimes tho? Like when you go out and shoot you find yourself not shooting something because it doesn't match?

  • @rcepter5485
    @rcepter5485 Před 5 lety +1

    What you can do with the sunset picture is first to put the one that matches your feed and then post the original one next to it (in a carousel)
