words by niall roeder

There are more places to take an epic Instagram shot in Melbourne than you can poke a selfie stick at. But before we get to the locations, let’s run over a few Instagram photography guidelines:

• Use natural light – very important!
• Use the grid feature
• Use the rule of thirds
• Shoot different angles
• Take multiple shots
• Tap to focus
• Edit image using controls (opposed to filters)

Now, we look at where to take the best Instagram shots in Melbourne.

Hosier Lane
Melbourne’s lanes and alleys are home to art en masse. They’re all great Insty venues, but Hosier Lane is one of the more well-known street art landmarks in Melbourne. Explore these urban art galleries – each kerb, dumpster, garage door and brick has some sort of stencil, spray or posca mark.

Flinders Street Station
The station is smack bang in the pulsating heart of Melbourne. Wherever you’re coming from and going to, there’s a good chance Flinders “staysh” will be your starting point. The ol’ girl is a beautiful piece of architecture and has been around since 1854, so it’s the perfect guise to unleash a blatant selfie #FlindersStreetStation #Culture #LookAtMe #LikeForLike
