How to Bookstagram in 9 Easy Steps

Posted by

I am slowly getting more and more into instagram and trying to be more creative with my pictures but it is SO hard and takes so much effforrrttt.. so I decided to share all my knowledge about bookstagramming with you. Basically, lots of deleting and hating your pictures.

How to Bookstagram in 9 Easy Steps

1. Get your bookstagraming spot set up
2. Look through all your shelves and contemplate what you feel like photographing. Pull out a shit ton of books, even though you won’t photograph all of them.
3. Take one photograph. Hate it and take 10 more.
4. Hate everything and delete all the photos.
hate ugh upset done i hate everything
5. Try something new. Re-arrange the books, put in some more props. Take a bunch more photographs.
6. Get your family/friends involved and ask them which photo they like best.
7. Decide that you don’t agree with their choice and spend another hour trying to figure out which one is the best.
8. Finally choose and edit the photo
9. Post it on instagram and hope people don’t think it’s shit.

    Hahahaha I haven’t got an instagram account but I take photos of books for my blog and I do exactly what you said! I spend a whole afternoon taking photos and then deleting them!

    Haha, this is brilliant! I have been trying to get into bookstagramming, but haven’t been successful yet. I actually found a cheap store that sells stuff that I could use as props for my photos, so maybe one day…

    OMFG yes to all of this! I look at what everyone else is doing and go FUCK IT ALL I CAN’T DO THIS! And then I get likes and I start crying and the cycle goes on and on.
