Read MoreWelcome to part 2 of my INSTAGRAM SERIES all about improving your photography, manoeuvering your way around instagram and growing your blog traffic. In part 1 I provided 5 tips on making your travel photography on instagram stand out and this week we're looking at the top 3 reasons you are losing instagram followers.
It's so frustrating, right? You're posting your best pictures and are still losing instagram followers by the bucket load. You've not changed your photography and are posting great content, though somehow your followers are leaving your instagram account in droves and you can't figure out why. Despite your best efforts you can't seem to gain traction and grow your instagram following. Confusing and frankly a tiny bit upsetting, isn't it?

I can't believe it's already a week ago since the 3-day food photography and food styling course Aimee and I taught has come to an end. We had SUCH a lovely time and in fact today's images, which were taken on day 2 of the workshop really, really capture the essence of what our workshop was about; lots of great food, lovely company and heaps of visual inspiration and creativity. I personally believe the images of day 2 were extra special as one of our 'students', the super talented Silvia, was present and SO generous as to share her delicious vegan red onion focaccia recipe with us as well as her incredible knowledge when it comes to styling.

It was probably around this time last year that Aimee from Twigg Studios asked me to run a food styling and food photography workshop with her in what seemed the unbelieveably distant future (March 2017!). Without hesitation I said yes and man, am I glad that I did. Though Aimee and I are VERY different people, us working together always kinda sorta really goes! And, I feel our lovely work connection shone through in this weekend's 3-day food photography and food styling workshop which was held at my humble, cosy home 'studio' in South East London. We only took 4 students each day to allow for lots of 1-2-1 attention and were over the moon that the workshop was sold out :).
