I Agree, Brit! As a professional photographer, the Instagram is so fun! Sometimes the whole ‘technical’ aspect of photography can weigh me down, but with Instagram it’s all really about your creativity, your eye, and your personality. Such an awesome tool!
Lovely photos! I love instagram as well and would love to post some of my photos on my (future) blog site. Any tips on how to post instagram photos on your wordpress account? Thanks!
Thank you! It’s very easy actually…simply upload the instgram images you want to post from your camera roll to your computer then upload to a post on your blog. Thanks for reading!
Well done, these look great. I only just got an i-phone and have become an instagram addict. How did you get the effect in the 1st photo? Congrats onbeing freshly pressed 🙂
Thank you!
The first photo was actually processed four different times and then combined in the app PicFrame. All processing was done with the app camera+ using four different color treatments. The image was shot with iPhone, edited on a iPhone, and then posted on istagram through an iPhone as well. It’s pretty amazing what you can do with your phone now a days.
Thank you! It was actually a fellow photographer shooting a couple session. It’s always challenging shooting pics at the beach and not getting some strangers in your shots!
Great spiritual shots. Loved the thoughtful and insightful side notes on the blog. The note about the well know comedy star’s death at 48 wouldl also apply to the recent death of a well known singer…. sadly. Possibly broke with 100 million going through their hands in their career? It would be interesting to find out how much of that might have went for drugs.
Thank you everyone for all the likes and wonderful comments! If you are on instagram be sure to check out my feed @alexanderpavone for daily posts and more images. Thanks for reading!
Love all of these! Have you used Lovestagram before? It’s just a little Valentine’s spin off Instagram, made by the co-founder of Instagram’s girlfriend.
So glad to see that I’m not the only one addicted to Instagram! It’s kinda dangerous though. Every time I’m in the car or walking down the street, I just see everything through Instagram colored lenses. I just want to stop and take a picture of everything. And I wind up doing it more often than not. Crazy fun!
Beautiful shots! My son has the exact same t-shirt.
Cheers!

Thank you! I do believe we got it from carter’s…you really designed that? That’s incredible, and what a small world! I’ve designed shirts for boys and young mens with one of each hitting at retailers like Target and Kohls…I’m fully aware of how hard it is to have designs sell through major retailers. Thanks for reading!
Thank you! Yes, every shot was taken with the 4s native camera and then all were edited with iPhone apps such as Camera+, PicFrame, Picfx, and snapseed.
Beautiful photos! I am a WordPress photographer too. I tried Instagram for a while, but eventually got a nice DSLR and edited them myself. Nevertheless, great job!
Thank you! That was actually shot through my car’s dirty windshield. No grunge filter added. Just the fun effect of a dirty window and old honda glass!
I’ve had little time lately to make dedicated outings with my “real camera”, so have recently undertaken to start snapping with my iPhone more regularly, and it’s been so much fun! A warning though – instagrams are addictive… 🙂 Thanks for sharing yours!
Susie 🙂
really dig the parking garage shot…the sepia tone contrasting with the deep black spaces (which seem to suggest an abyss) jibe together quite nicely….parking garages have always fascinated me because they serve no other purpose other than to temporarily house cars…so aesthetics do not seem to be important (the cars don’t care about pretty)…also, i dig their angular möbius strip quality…each level blends into the other…reminds me of m.c. escher’s ‘ascending and descending’…
Thank you for the great comments! Of course this parking structure was a little pretty being that it’s the South Coast Plaza parking structure. 🙂 Thanks for reading!
Wow!
His photographs fill our eyes. What beautiful pictures!
I really liked the first picture, because it makes a journey through the seasons.
Congratulations.
Thank you! A couple of people have noted to the look of all seasons, originally I just wanted a four color picture. It’s interesting to me how different people see different things. Thanks for reading!
I don’t know much about instagram. I thought it was just an app for sharing photos. Were these all edited within the app or were other ones used? for example the first one with the tree
Instegram allows you to put different effects photos as well as share them. Though I think some people edit their photos using software like Photoshop before they import it into Instegram.
Not as much as you would think. There are so many diiferent ways you can shoot and edit all with an iPhone I would venture to say that almost all instagram shots are done solely on an iPhone. All of these shots were taken and edited with an iPhone. I use a ton of different apps tho shoot and edit with. Some of my favorites include PicFrame, Picfx, snapseed, Photo Power, Big Lens, Vintage Cam, Phonto and Slow Shutter.
I use a combination of PicFrame, Picfx, snapseed, and/or Camera+. Since I found the fun in editing all on my iPhone, I tend to upload to instagram using no filter to share.
Beautiful shots. I challenged myself to a 366 project using my iphone and Instagram and it’s fun, but I’d like to explore more apps. I have Instagram and camera+, what are a couple of other apps that you really like?
I use PicFrame, Picfx, snapseed, Photo Power, Big Lens, Vintage Cam, Phonto and/or Slow Shutter. Some other apps I have heard great things about are Photo Shake, Photo Froge2, and Color Process. Thanks for reading!
I’m way late to the Instagram party, but recently downloaded the app and am now slightly addicted. If I could Instagram a screen shot of my Angry Birds level, I could die happy!
These are some very astonishing shots and strongly urge me towards purchasing an iphone purely for instagram; however I will point out my favourites. The first shot with the four colours shows huge consideration of the colour scheme and purpose, but the black and white shot of the child really draws me to it with the gaze, definitely fine use of instagram!
I am inspired to do so much more with my Instagram now! i’ve just been taking food pictures… I enjoyed your photography so much I added you on my Google reader & followed on Twitter. i have a couple questions if you don’t mind–
1) how did you get the effect on the first photo?
2) i’m a VERY novice photographer.. as in the most i’ve done is had the desire to learn & capture moments around me. any tips?
oh & i’m usually a proponent of PUPPIES > BABIES but your kid is too cute 😀
congrats on freshly pressed!

The first shot was edited/processed four different times in the app Camera+. I then combined then all in the app PicFrame and removed the borders/edges to have the photo seamlessly merge together.
I would say to just start looking for out of the ordinary things/places/scenery to take shots of. Take a shot of a person in front of a sunset to catch their silhouette or shoot things like concrete, woodgrain, car tires, light fixtures, etc. As soon as you can find the beauty in the in-ordinary, you will realize your skills will improve. A concept I’m working on myself!
Thank you! Yeah be sure to try editing photos before going to instagram. I’ve been doing this on almost everything I post there to get all sorts of different images!
Thank you! I’ve been using a variety of different apps to edit with before going to instagram…be sure to check out/try PicFrame, Phonto, SnapSeed, Camera+, VintageCam, PhotoPower.

Instagram makes me smile, daily.
It’s also great to inspire you & get those creative juices flowing.
J’adore the pier shots and #4.

It really is, thanks for sharing. You seem a pro with all the different apps. It may take me a while to get the hang of it though!
Beauty in the ordinary. “Through the windscreen” shot is very cinematic. The “under the pier” shot is very mysterious. Who is that man?
Thank you! It was actually a fellow photographer shooting a couple session. It’s always challenging shooting pics at the beach and not getting some strangers in your shots!
Lovely shots, really cool stuff going on here!

Well done on the Freshly Pressed – these are great! I love Instagram! I’ll put some up soon!
Thank you. I just learned what freshly pressed was today when I got the initial email about it! Such an honor to have wordpress recognize me!
Definitely! When you have a moment, have a little look through my blog too, I’d really appreciate some feedback!
These are gorgeous! and very impressive.
Thank you for the kind words. Photo editing on an iPhone has become quite entertaining to me. Thanks for noticing!

Ahh, I see. I too have camera+ and I enjoy it very much. I will check out the other apps you mentioned.
Beautiful photos! I am a WordPress photographer too. I tried Instagram for a while, but eventually got a nice DSLR and edited them myself. Nevertheless, great job!
Than you! I do love my canon dslr much more, although you can’t beat the convenience of the iPhone.
this is inspiring…you brought out the best in the app! =D
Thanks for the inspirational words!
Gorgeous shots. I’m personally a fan of the fourth one from the top, I love the grittiness. Makes me want to go to California.
I’ll definitely be following you!
Thank you! That was actually shot through my car’s dirty windshield. No grunge filter added. Just the fun effect of a dirty window and old honda glass!

These are really amazing. I always wanted to use instagram but I don’t have iphone. I hope they develop it for Android soon.
There is talk they want to expand their market to the android and windows phone platforms…so hopefully soon!
Yes, I read it too. I hope they release it sooner.

The first shot was edited/processed four different times in the app Camera+. I then combined then all in the app PicFrame and removed the borders/edges to have the photo seamlessly merge together.
I would say to just start looking for out of the ordinary things/places/scenery to take shots of.

Yea, they have a lot of photo-software for android devices tho. But somehow they don’t compare to Instagram!
