Everyone today is seen with a phone in their hand busy photographing something, they find ‘instagramy’. You and me, both undoubtedly and unapologetically ‘Instagram’ too. 

From sharing stories of our breakfast to letting our ‘followers’ know the time we return back home from work, Instagram has become an indispensable part of our lives. It has brought people including celebrities closer to each one of us by giving us updates of their lives.

Instagram has left no stone unturned. It has extended its reach in all the industries today. Travel, food, lifestyle, beauty, clothing, sports, fitness, business, etc have all been engulfed by the world of Instagram. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the way we visualize the world today is largely impacted by Instagram.

Aesthetics play an extremely important role when it comes to using Instagram. Let’s just say, the stronger the aesthetics, the number of followers an Instagram handle attracts. The only simple reason behind this is that a visually appealing and strongly aesthetic image gives a sense of satisfaction.

Every handle is dedicated to a specific category and is designed keeping in mind the same. The most common types of handles found are:

Food: Food is huge on Instagram. There are many foodies who have started their own food Instagram handles and have grown massively. Instagram is a major reason why we are hungry all the time. If you are bored and happen to open your Instagram, you are sure to feel hungry and tempted towards delicious food. This doesn’t just stop here; if you visit a nice and fancy restaurant or eatery, you too get the irresistible urge to click and post with the right filters and captions.
