I’ve seen that professional photographers use white borders around their photos on Instagram, why do they make their photos smaller by doing that? To preserve image quality?
If that is so why don’t they just use standard 1:1 , 3:4 or landscape mode which ig supports instead of custom crops
I love white framing IRL. But on online formats, not so much.
To my taste, it’s only pleasant on instagram if it’s consistent and well planed. And even, if a user is in darkmode (I am), it will look strange/ugly.
I prefer to work on the pictures I share to make a crop for instagram.
Personnal taste !
