Teresa Franco’s Swipe Album as viewed from an iPad screen.
We often overlook what Teresa Franco sees. Using her iPhone, macro lenses and different camera apps, she has been taking magnificent macro photographs of insects and sprouting plants and posting them on Instagram. What looks like ET beings and alien landscapes are actually just garden life in miniature.
Teresa has a solid portfolio of macro photographs on her Instagram feed and choosing photographs for the Swipe Album was pretty difficult. First we downloaded all the macro shots from her feed and then grouped her photographs and video by subject matter.
We decided on a theme of flowers for this page and played with the arrangement by color.
Here we picked a series of photographs of the same subjects (caterpillars) that somehow tell a story.
Below is a layout of two different subjects but the photos have the same mood to them.
These are Instagram photos of all shells but we made sure the patterns enhance the overall layout.
For this spread it is a mix of colors and different insects.
With Instagram now with video, We included a few of Teresa Franco’s macro Instavideos on her Swipe Album. You can view, how her multimedia album looks with video of an Ipad screen here.
