This Guy Transforms Average Photos Into Masterpieces

Instagram makes it look like everyone is a brilliant photographer and you’re the only one who doesn’t know how to use your camera, but that’s not true. A lot of the time all the bloggers that you follow either hire professional photographers to take pictures for them, learn the rules of photography and practice all day every day, or most of the magic is actually in the edit. Thankfully there’s Miles. MilesofColor is an Instagram account of a digital artist whose mission is to educate, inspire and instill confidence. He often shares photos before and after the edit to show how much can be changed in the process of editing. It was a really eye-opening experience for us, so we thought we’d share his account and some of his works with you so that you can become more confident in your abilities and learn how to make your Instagram game stronger.

1. If you take a picture that’s underexposed it’s very easy to fix that and play with exposure when you edit. Here we can also see how you can draw attention to a certain part of the image.

2. While the first photo is not bad at all, you can see here how you can transform it into a work of art just by playing with color, contrast and exposure.

3. A classic moment of transforming an average portrait photo into a really good one you’d definitely double tap on Instagram.

4. Not everything has to look realistic, sometimes it’s fun to change up the colors of things to achieve a more striking effect.

5. Again, underexposed photos are super easy to transform. As long as the quality of the photo is good, you can bring up the exposure and really make those colors pop.
