How To Take Instagram Worthy Photos While Traveling Solo

Sometimes you just want to get away a few days and you want to do it alone.

Which is great until you need someone to take a photo of you. After all, were you really there if you didn't post it to social media? Instagram offers tons of filters and adjustment tools to make your pics pop, but with a few tricks, you can make those images look professional grade. Number one tip from Harpers Bazaar: take your time. The really good photos need proper lighting and staging. Google is your friend when it comes to finding the best locations to shoot. And this goes without saying, but you need a good camera. Your phone won't cut it. Use a tripod or bag to prop it up and use a timer delay so you can get into the frame.
