Spend enough time on Instagram and you might notice perfectly curated photos of objects styled and arranged beautifully, shot from bird’s eye view. That’s a #flatlay for you.
Apart from being great for garnering plenty of likes, #flatlays also serve as inspirational visuals whether you’re looking to put together an outfit, plan a photo shoot, or simply, gather ideas for a project.
Here are some of our favourite tips you could use.
