Sometimes, cameras can't capture a scene like your brain does. But the use of apps can help get it just a little closer to reality.
Our goal is to allow people to use whatever app they want to get photos into 'Instagram'.
We're not going the photography route. I think there is a real distinction between photos and images, and Flickr is for photos, and Instagram is for photos. You wouldn't put a filter on a meme; you'd put a filter on top of a photo that came from your camera.
Photography has always been capable of manipulation.
My pictures are airbrushed.
Every time I take a photo, it goes into SnapSeed. Even if it's just a price tag on something, it still goes into SnapSeed, and I start editing it. I'm not a photographer, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to make a picture look cool.
Using the correct apps can completely change how your photos look. It's really exciting because once you've already taken a good photo, it can become 10 times better if you use the right combination of apps. My favorites are VSCO Cam, Afterlight, Facetune and SKRWT.
I used to touch up my pictures on the computer and send them to friends. I would change colours, the design, and stuff like that.
One of my favorite apps is VSCO, which is for editing photos. I think they have great filters. And then I read the New York Times.
I try to keep my filters simple. I don't do anything major to my photos.
A true friend will go with the instagram filter that flatters you.
