While you're getting your groceries (but not hoarding!), take a stylish shot in front of your favourite aisle! The trick to getting a good backdrop is to find an aisle that's filled with items of a similar colour or shape.

Not all carparks are worthy of the 'gram, but the vast space, concrete structures and low ceilings can sometimes make for a cool photo with the right filters.

You might not have noticed the beauty of our public transport system while hustling and bustling about every day, and we're not just talking about the beauty of efficiency! Pristine, gleaming tiles and high ceilings in MRT stations make for pretty photo backdrops especially once the crowd disperses. The trains themselves are fairly Insta-worthy too! The trick is to get perfect symmetry. ?

All these photos will be taken up a notch with the right pose. If you're camera-shy and can't seem to look good in photos, check out some effortless poses for awkward ladies, gents and couples!
