## Caption

It seems that in the days of algorithm woes, the worst thing you can do on Instagram is post whatever you like. I’m always reading tips about how it’s more important than ever to curate your grid and post the same kind of photos over and over, the ones that do the best. So don’t be creative, just recycle the same theme over and over and do it well each time. But I don’t feel like doing that most of the time because I prefer to be more creative. Especially when I travel. To let the place dictate the story and the moment show me what it wants captured. Case in point: the night @dante.vincent & I drove down to Huntington Beach to take a photo of the pier at sunset, this ended up being my favorite photo. The image I’d planned to take didn’t really turn out at all. But I love the way Danté looks under the pier, framed by all the #leadinglines in his badass @allsaints jacket that he bought in Scotland, which makes him look like an Italian American James Dean...I was swooning for the whole scene, sunset be damned. 😝😍 And that’s just how it goes sometimes. The things we don’t plan, turn out better than the ones we do. It’s certainly far less stressful than planning my grid 😉 Shot on my @sonyalpha #a7rii #leadinglinesphotography #underthepier #huntingtonbeachpier #visitcalifornia #alphacollective #republic_of_symmetry
