Hey guys… So the other day I was explaining to my friend why I’m so obsessed with my Instagram and why I constantly delete photos and re-add them (to my @rose.pendleton IG NOT ROSIESAYSHELLO)

My main Instagram is more of a portfolio but since I have quite a few trades obviously it’s not all just modeling. It’s supposed to be a “healthy mix” of photos with the following categories:
n
- n
- Modeling
- Acting
- On Set/Behind the Scenes
- Events
- Video
- Personal
- Snapchat
- Photography
n

However the mix is supposed to have more modeling photos than anything because it’s a portfolio. So to sum it up the posts are supposed to go in the following order:
n
- n
- 3-5 modeling photos
- 1 on set/backstage
- 1 snapchat
- 1 photography
- 1 personal
- 1 repost/inspiration/art
n
n

With a very SELDOM (very few) posts in the acting, video and event categories. These are supposed to happen like:
n
- n
- 1 video after 15-25 posts
- 1 acting screenshot after 30 posts
- 1-3 event photos only when I attend an event
n

Which brings me to my NEXT area of focus. Color and eye catching ORDER of the posts. When I first started it was a healthy mix of color but I noticed as I went further the colors have patterns and decided to stick with the pattern it tends to start.
n
For example:
n
nThis is the very beginning of my feed. It follows the category order with and is pleasing to the eye/attention grabbing. As I moved on it turned more into a yellow/golden/tan feed:
n
nAfter the yellow it slowly turned into a blue feed then turned into purple:
n
nAfter the purple the photos changed to a neutral black, white and gray section:
n
nThen it flowed back into another yellow/tan/golden feed:
n
nWhich is where I currently am. The photos must FLOW and gradually change colors. I’m currently trying to get it to go into a mint green then green then blue (because I have a lot of photos to post in these colors). Not ALL photos look good next to each other. It has to have a healthy mix of horizontal and vertical while following the original categories as well as colors…
n
It’s my art in an art form. This is why the end of the feed which you guys see at the top/beginning is ALWAYS changing/being deleted and reposted. These are the photos I work with. It takes quite a bit of time for me to find a nice flow for the feed and when I don’t like it I just delete all the photos up to the color changing point and start over.
n
I hope this makes it more clear why my Instagram is always changing. I also have a lot of old photos that are really good and I want to post and I’d like to post all my old photos from specific things like events (but I can’t just post ALL THE EVENTS AT ONCE) because that’s too many events they need to be spread out. Does that make sense?
n
It needs to flow with the categories, color and have an eye grabbing appeal for not just myself but others as well 
n
I love finishing a section because since it takes so much time and I spend a lot of time on it its a very good feeling to finally like a section. Haha. I hope you guys look at my Instagram in a different way because like I said its my art inside of art!
n
Have a good day guys!!
