The Side Profile
Gone were the days where we take pictures like this.

This is a typical couple shot. Just you, me and the wall.
First decide, which side do you look better? When you turn your face to the left and to the right, chances are one side will look slimmer than the other. This is also why most of the time, girls will tilt their faces. You can tell the difference clearly from this picture.

Face the right angle to your advantage!
When taking pictures with your boo, instead of repeated close-up pictures taking up more than 50% of the entire picture, invest in a tripod so you can take pictures a little further away. Put some distance and actually capture the background behind you. Sometime later, when you look back, you can actually remember the moments. Tilt your body when taking half body and stick close to your boo for a slimmer turnout!

The I-Copy-You Pictures
So Kim posted this picture...
And cheeky Shane tried to copy her.
So.. I tried to copy @ohhowstrange's hanging photo but failed. But in my defense, my pants were really tight hahaha. Anyway, just out of curiosity, if Kim and I were to do a talk show, what topics would you like us to talk about? Comment below (: #adidassg A post shared by Shane Pow (@shanepowxp) on
The Sugar Sweet IG Couple
Apart from an appropriate caption, colour coordinate with your boo and if possible, plan your outfit according to where you are going. If you're heading to a grassy place in Taiwan, you want to wear white/yellow so you contrast against the background. Avoid green! If you're visiting cold places, co-ordinate leather jacket/caps/shoes with your boo for the overall couple feel. Of course, the smiles and true joy are important elements.
Missing my happy pill. A post shared by Shane Pow (@shanepowxp) on
In this picture, Kim stands out because she is wearing red against a dark background. Shane almost blended with the background. Naturally, Kim stood out and became the focus of the picture!
The Kissing Shot
There are a million and one ways that kissing shots will go wrong.

If you're taking mouth-to-mouth kiss pictures. Please make sure you
- Close your eyes (don't squeeze it.)
- Keep the kiss light
- Make sure neither of your noses are bent
Or simple like Kim-Pow way! Ask your boyfie to kiss you~
A Casual Everyday
We emphasise, colour co-ordination and picture composition is very important. When you plan how the different elements should come together in your dates, over time, it becomes a second nature and you will ace the Instagram game.
Remember to make eye contact and smile sweetly! Go for softer angles and invest in selfie-sticks/ tripod stands. Tag your boyfriend and xiao hint him!
