Drew Hoolhorst and Rob Shaw created a guide to the types of Instagram pictures that you're most likely to see on the app uploaded on a regular basis. The 'Insta-Bulls***' guide categorizes food photos, workout shots, partying pictures and the "I'm So Artistic" photo types, providing an explanation of what the images are trying to say with and without context.
Although there are tons of ways to get creative with your Instagram posts, these ones tend to stick to the most basic filters and are generally nothing special in terms of photography. This satirical guide to Instagram will make it a lot easier to identify the posts that appear on your news feed and call out the culprits who incessantly post things like the "Beautiful Couple Picture" or the "Lazy Day at the Park Picture."
