Instagram seems to be the top social media platform. It is where you show off your latest posts, your latest outfit, hair style, meal out, shopping haul. There really is no limit to what you can share on Instagram. This means that you need to be on top of your game. I have 2 Products Every Instagrammer needs.
The Instagram bag contains everything for the budding food photographer. In collaboration with phone photographer Matt Inwood and stylist Sophie Purser Paper Bag Co have created a special bag for those who enjoy combining their love of food with a passion for photography.

Inside the bag
The bag comes with the following items to help make your food photography go from good to amazing
- A 15 inch photographic reflector and diffuser – this is a tool which all professional photographers have in their kit bag. It can help to brighten and enhance both highlights and shadows, and can alter the lighting and colours of the images you create.
- Four beautifully crafted papers from Black Velvet Styling, which is a photographic backdrop company set up by Sophie, creating affordable backdrops for amateurs and professionals. These are great for transforming a plate of food into a gorgeous image perfect for sharing on instagram. You get a variety of starter colours and textures to play around and experiment with.

My Opinion
Some of you will know my husband is a photographer, he has tried multiple times to teach me photography but I just do not understand the settings on his camera. I have used it with the settings set, and have used his reflectors and studio lights, to get the lighting effects I want. But in my world the two do not mix.
These bags are great for when out and about, or creating at home. The reflectors are a lovely size and when stored in their little bag take up no room. I am terrible for taking selfies but have had a few tries with the selfie stick and it is so much easier. I love both of these bags and they will make my life a lot easier. Even if you are not into taking the perfect picture for Instagram. I would recommend the selfie bag. You can view both of these bags and more at Paper Bag Co
