Instagram is a most famous app that is being liked for its variety of posts and its culturalism. It is everyone’s favorite and is downloaded on millions and millions of phones and other devices. Not only for watching the posts, but it is also widely cherished for making money through the app. 

You can post blogs, travel diaries, branding, promotions, and so much more. While most people post their traveling pictures, you may notice warily that their photos-taking ideas are ridiculously different from the images we normally take when traveling or on vacations. 

They have a distinct style when posing and not just pose, but they tend to show many things in one picture without making it awkwardly crowded.

It is an app to visualize emotions, videos, pictures and bridge the gap between many types of clipart, and that too all in one. 

It’s never easy to take traveling photographs in one go, but it takes tries and perfection, which comes with hard work. So today, I will tell you ten different yet easy travel Instagram photo ideas. 

To nail the photo and make it perfect, you need to be happy and fully cherished because pictures look stunning when freshness and natural happiness are shown. 

• “Guess the Item in my hand.”

This is an easy yet quite unique idea. While you’re at an attractive place, hold up your hand and make sure there is something in your hand like ice cream, candy, or anything. It works more often. 

you can make it work anywhere because you can make the background a little blurred later (details will still be defined) and what will stand out more is you and your little item in your hand, which highlights the title “guess the item in my hand.” 

This will look more natural if the thing in your hand looks like it’s in progress. For example, a popsicle or a big swirl lollipop that is half bitten seems natural instead of making the audience think that you stood and posed on “purpose.” 

Naturality is vital because the more natural is the scene, the more enthusiastic and great Instagram photo it would be. 

• Hold your hats

This idea belongs to those who are at a beach or somewhere with a sunny day, where a summer hat may be used. 

This is like showing the background and the picture being clicked from behind. It will show the viewers that You are holding onto your hat by looking at the scenery. 

In this way, not just you but the audience will also be able to see the sight from your point of view. It shows perfection, uniqueness, and creativity in one picture. 

You can also try clicking this picture from several different angles. For instance, it can be snapped from behind while you’re standing or while you’re sitting on a rock or sand, or you can also show yourself along with the backdrop while still holding your hat. 

In addition, consider adding emotions in the pictures as well. 

• Looking Sideways

This is quite a popular picture idea because people take this type of picture in front of a really famous place, such as a museum, hall of fame, or any kind of iconic building. 

The purpose of this picture is to show more of the background setting of where you are than yourself. Because you will comparatively come smaller in the viewpoint if taken from a side angle. This shows your side profile more than the front part of your body or face. 

I personally like to see pictures from different angles rather than centered frames. It will help the spectators to look at the atmosphere you’re looking at and see the emotions on your face 

Again I believe a beautiful photo requires natural emotions and happiness. 

• Where am I headed?

A lot of people adore this type of image, which displays a bunch of stuff you are packing to go somewhere. It creates curiosity in the mind of the audience as to “where are you headed?”. 

It engages the audience by looking at the bunch of items you’re packing and guessing in the comments the location where you plan to go. 

These kinds of pictures are mainly posted by people who are expert travelers. 

This is a unique style of telling people about your itinerary. Furthermore, after reaching your destinations, you can share a picture with your followers, telling them the location’s name. It keeps the audience connected to your profile apart from snapping a great traveling Instagram photo. 

• Grab a friend 

As by the title, you can guess that this specific snap requires a friend in it, and I think no trip is complete without the laughs and experience with your significant other best friend. 

It is also a great photo idea because instead of you being in every photo, this time you are sharing the angles with someone else, which automatically captures emotions and relations. 

Having an ordinary milieu focusing on people, walking and talking is a great idea to capture a picture. The setting behind, as usual, will be a little blurred and the highlights will be you and your friend. 

This might be an unusual photo particularly when you introduce someone who may be your friend or a new user to Instagram. It will help that person to gain the attention of your existing followers to their profiles.

• Look Away

This may feel similar to an idea discussed above. Still, it is distinguished in respect to the environment and surroundings. When you have a great horizon, rolling mountains, sunsets or sunrise view, or anything that is naturally big and has a vast viewpoint, you need to capture the image looking away.

In this way, it also adds a hypnotizing effect to the picture, as it looks like you’re trying to “find something” when in reality, you’re looking at one of the best horizons.

It allows the onlookers to be in your shoes and like this great post indeed. The audience can also imagine the vastness in the scenery using you as a scale in the picture. Think about the human element that is really small, which highlights the view or the surroundings. 

• Caught in the Moment

This picture is a real unintentionally captured moment without actually posing that boosts a natural effect. For example, if you’re eating something in a restaurant or a patio, it looks like you’re about to take a bite, and there goes a click. 

This adds naturality, emotions and makes it a scrumptious post. You can make this more of a post where it’s actually “behind the scenes” of what you do when you are traveling. 

It is an amusing photo to share with everyone. Besides, you may advertise the spot, rate their food and give a review. Furthermore, you can also make money by advertising if the concerned party is interested. 

• Towards the light

It is an idea to capture the image anywhere there is sun or the light brightly shining towards you or away from you. A bright source of light somewhere in sight is also one of the things getting attention. 

I believe sunset or bright sunny hours is the perfect time to click this picture. It seems like you’re walking through the light, and various styles can be added to this photo. Like you can hold your sunglasses and pretend as if you’re walking away from the bright sun. Or you can pretend it’s wintertime and you’re walking in the light to get some warmth from it. These kinds of pictures turn out amazing even when there is not much editing done to them. These pictures are generally original and natural.

• Monumental Photo

A self-explanatory trick in which you click an excellent shot framing a famous monument, for example, Eiffel Tower, Twin Tower, Big Ben, Burj Khalifa, CN Tower, etc.. The popular iconic monuments are enough to make the pictures astonishing. 

These pictures don’t come out from a low human angle because they are pretty large to fit in from a down view. It’s better to either be on a carousel, Ferris wheel, or somewhere up or on its mid-level to click a perfectly angled picture including clouds, people, and everything around it to add a more practical effect to it. 

Again, people have different viewpoints and aspects, but this is a general idea to make a picture really aesthetic with minimal movement and hard work required. 

• Looking Through the Window

Again it is an effortless and unique style to click a morning picture. As we have covered daytime pictures, food photographs, etc., I believe we also need to click something when we are just in our bathrobes or PJs, taking sips of coffee tea and looking outside the window at the lush green trees while relishing the fresh air. 

This picture should be taken with your eyes open by looking out the window, or you can simply close your eyes and feel the moment in the morning. Moreover, You may want to show the current weather of where you are staying, giving a very mesmerizing view right from your sitting point.
