Ever wondered how those Instagram stars manage to capture their exotic surroundings so perfectly?
Well one famous travel blogging couple have shared their secret to getting the perfect shot every time (and you can totally steal their tricks for your next sun holiday).
Lauren Bullen (24) and her boyfriend Jack Morris (26) have been traversing the globe together since they first set eyes on each other in Fiji (natch) last year.
Lauren’s fan base has surpassed 1.2m on Instagram, while Jack boasts a whopping 2m, with both Bali-based stars posting daily updates of their wanderlust-inducing travels.
Sharing some insider secrets in a Q&A on his site Do You Travel, Jack had the following tips:
Get up early
‘Most of the time we like to shoot around one hour after sunrise. Busy locations don’t tend to be as busy at this time of day,’
Ditch the filters
‘I edit all my photos in the same kind of style with my own Lightroom presets so I guess they all look somewhat similar because of that.’
Plan your feed
I also look at the grid and try to plan the next image to make sure it works well with the rest of my recent feed,’
Research
Jack and Lauren plan their trips by asking friends for tips and trawling Instagram and Pinterest for travel inspiration.
Use the timer
When they’re not taking snaps of each other, Lauren and Jack use a tripod and a timer to take the gorgeous couple shots you see on their feeds.
Right; now all we need is a gym-honed bod, a decent camera and a one-way ticket to paradise.
