Creating a Instagram account

I have also decided to also create an Instagram account, which will visually showcase project outcomes by myself and also other work I have created. Using hash tags within the captions allows my images to be associated with that word and visible to people searching it. I was only able to sign up for an Instagram account through my iPhone and was unable to document that part of the process, however again as with Pinterest I used my professional name to link the account too, and also included a link to my website. 


After signing up to instagram I uploaded my first images, again from my most recent specialist practise unit. This site has more of a casual blog like feel due to the hash tagging format, and I will be using this account a little more casually to adopt general images regarding hair and make-up onto my profile.
 On the image above and below you can see the credits and hash tags used to link my images to the collaborative members and also topics that I want the image to be seen in. Within 5 minutes some of my images already had 5-6 likes, which has since doubled if not tripled (20 minutes on). I am confident that Instagram is an upcoming but good way to share outcomes around the world and can be viewed by many people influential in the make-up industry.
