You can see this panoramic example currently demonstrated on my Instagram: Square GridĪnother option is the square grid.
The benefit is you can get a crop that you would otherwise have to add padding on the top and bottom to fit within Instagram’s criteria, as well as your image is visually bigger, and can enhance the cinematic feel to the photo, while showing the subject in more detail. I like to put something along the lines of “swipe to see the rest of the photo” in the caption (You could add that to the “left” image as well, on the photo if you felt it was necessary). When done right, this looks really cool when someone is scrolling through your feed. I’ve created an action to create these images for you… and will demonstrate it in the video below (Link to actions at bottom of article). Basically you create a set of square images (in this example, 3) - and split your image across them. I personally am always looking for ways to display images bigger, which can show more detail and quality (or enhance flaws, but that’s another discussion). There are a couple reasons to do this, if you don’t and you scale the image down to fit in your post, especially on a panorama, your subject’s face is likely to be very small.
This takes advantage of Instagram's new-ish feature of allowing multiple images per post. One of them is to do a super wide panorama, by splitting your image into multiple parts. There are a few neat tricks with the new multi-photo layout within an Instagram post. Today I will talk about one of my favorite ways to do that and even provide a few of my custom Photoshop actions for free.
