In this modern era, there are lots kinds of professional accounts to manage in Instagram. For instance, some people would record their lifestyle, the food they eat, and the shop they run. I am the one who use Instagram strongly. And I’d love to browse some posts with delicious food and some information below the photos. What’s more, I used to post on what I eat on my personal account and I think taking good pictures makes me feel cheerful. It’s like an achievement for me to have wonderful photos which I took on my own. But, I have no thoughts to run an account to record it because I’m afraid of being judged by someone else, and I was too embarrassed to show my photos in public. However, I found that my friends Bobo, the first one who I knew records the food just like else professional people do. At a sudden, I asked my myself that why not just try it one time and don’t worry too much. Eventually, I made up my mind to run a food account to share the photos I took.
Although I didn’t use advanced camera to take photos, it’s fun for me only use my iphone8 plus to have lots of perfect photos. Apart from running an account, I was worried about the angles I took. Why did I worry about this? It’s because my sister have learned the lesson of taking photos. And she complained about one time that my picture isn’t quite good for the angle. From that time, I had no confidence about photographing.

Till now, I pluck up the courage to tell her my plan. And this time, she encourages me a lot to do the thing I’m interested. Thus, I do it. I have created the food recording account for 10 days. Surprisingly, the number of fans in the food account rise to 100 fans, which has exceeded my expectation already. Running a food recording account is the first thing I decided to try. And now, I feel lots of achievement to watch the reach number which keeps rising.

For the specific post, I took a picture of Xiao Long Bao. Guess what? This post has reached 1900 people to browse this post! At that time, I’m freaking excited because it is the first time to manage a professional account and go viral within a short time. I hope I can keep doing this thing and I will tell myself “don’t be afraid this time”.
HI Laurence! I have seen your foodie account before! Even though you say you didn't use professional camera to take photo of delicious food, i think it is good enough! Enjoying the delicious food can really release the stress for me. And thank you for sharing all kind of food. if i have chances, i will definitely visit some of restaurants you recommended!😍
I have followed your account already and watch it appear on my pages every day!I think you really take pictures well, and some of your posts really make me want to give it a try with my family.Just as I mentioned to you before, the one that almost drive me crazy is the post of canelé, and I remembered I even asked you which one is better trying. You really do a good job trying on managing an account, and I think you can feel more confident about that!Keeping doing so, and then you’ll be more familiar with that kind of skills(?)There might be someone who always waits for your sharing!
Emmm....I never thought there is so much pre-work to prepare before running a food instagram. But I think it is an admirable thing that you are willing to take courage to do something that you have never tried before. If it were me, I might not be able to do it. 😓 By the way, I think the photos you took look very professional, you should give yourself more confidence, you are doing a good job.🤗
