Whether you have a business Instagram account or a personal account, it has never been more important to brand your collection into a theme that has a cohesive look.

When someone comes to your instagram account for the first time, they see your first nine photos in your grid and make a split second decision whether or not to follow you. 

There is a phycological decision that happens when an account seems well put together, when the photos flow together, it makes a viewer want to follow and be a part of your content, as it puts your account above the rest. 

That is what we are going to be doing in this course. 

We are going to be using Adobe Lightroom to edit three photos in a cohesive color theme.

What we will cover:

  • Importing photos
