When asked to describe your ideal neighborhood what’s the first thing you usually think of? Safety, security, and location are often the top three. Nowadays, however, a lot of people also prefer places that look good in photos. These are what you call Instagram-worthy or Instagrammable places.

An Instagrammable neighborhood is one that looks exceptionally good in Instagram. The minute you see a photo of it on your IG feed, you are drawn to it. You cannot help but love it. And you wish to the high heavens that you were the one who took that photo.

With millions of users around the world, Instagram is easily one of the most globally popular social media platforms. When you upload or post a photo on your IG page, millions of people will see it in a matter of minutes. Your photo will travel to even the farthest corners of the world. Everything you post on IG gets maximum exposure worldwide. It is a powerful medium.

So when you hear people saying, “Wow, this is an Instagrammable place!”, you know that you’ve just been given a major compliment.

But not all photos on IG are Instagrammable. There are certain qualities or characteristics a photo has to have before it can be dubbed Instagram-worthy.

1. An IG-worthy photo is relatable. People should be able to easily identify with the subject or image in the photo. Example: a photo of someone drinking coffee on a balcony overlooking a majestic view of Macajalar Bay. Wouldn’t you want to be that someone?

2. An IG-worthy photo is creative. People like photos that evoke a sense of creativity – not the ones that are hastily taken. In other words, colors, lighting, and composition matters.

3. An IG-worthy photo is unique. It has to be or has to have something you don’t see every day. Example: a family of four enjoying a swim – on the rooftop of a building with the sunset in full view. That’s not something you see every day, anywhere, right?

4. An IG-worthy photo is breathtaking. Photos that take your breath away attract a lot of viewers. Example: a sunrise wedding on the rooftop of the tallest building in the neighborhood, complete with a view of Macajalar Bay. You don’t have to go to Dahilayan to get a breathtaking wedding photo!

5. An IG-worthy photo is vibrant. The best and most effective Instagram photos are alive with colors, teeming with action, shapes, and people.

Vibrant photos tell a lot of interesting stories. Example: an old piano filled with colorful family photos and placed in one corner of a living room with big, picturesque windows. Outside, you’ll see kids playing on the green grass.
