200 Good Instagram Bio Ideas for 2022

Crafting a perfectly curated Instagram grid takes tons of time and effort. You have to figure out your aesthetic and find the perfect lighting, angles, and shots to make your Instagram account the Instagram account to follow. Ofc, you've already got that down pact, but there's one little thing that may fly under the radar — your Instagram bio. It's the first thing people see when they check out your profile. Before your followers can leave heart-eye emojis under your latest selfie, blow up the comment section of your homecoming reel, or make your prom carousel dump go viral, your Instagram bio reveals what you and your page are all about. Your profile helps you make a lasting impression on social media, so that's all the more reason to have the best Instagram bio.

Your Instagram bio can consist of so many different things. If you're a proud alumni or a newly-enrolled student so proud that you got into your dream school, you can show love to your alma mater by including your school name and graduation year in your Instagram bio. Maybe you're a beauty enthusiast or a foodie. Shout out your passions in your bio. You can also use funny emojis to show just how amazing you are.

No matter if you want to revamp your Instagram bio or create one for the very first time, we've got you covered. Here's a list of the coolest Instagram bios to take your social media game to the next level.

                              Afisha Daily editor Anna Maslovskaya has mastered the art of photographing food — on her @ annamaslovskaya signed by more than 25 thousand people. Below are Anina's tips for restaurateurs and chefs on how to run a cool Instagram, as well as photos of caviar and desserts from her favorite accounts.

                              Practice basic good manners

                              This is more or less clear to everyone, but let's repeat. If the location where the photo was taken is important, put a geotag. If the person in the picture has an account, tag it. If you use hashtags, don't overdo it with their number, otherwise you will look like a spammer or an unbalanced person.

                              David Chang, owner of New York restaurant group Momofuku and publisher of Lucky Peach magazine, hugs other celebrity chefs. All characters are tagged

                              Sea urchin caviar - one hashtag, that's enough

                              Yunost's chef Maxim Letunovsky maintains his own Instagram account - the tag from this photo is only for him

                              good photos

                              The only case when perfect photo quality is not a decisive factor in account popularity is your value in a professional environment. If you can give your subscribers really important and interesting information, you can relax about the quality of photos. But only a little, because Instagram is a social network for visuals. If the food in the photo is in focus, the light is diffused and natural, the composition and perspective are in order, then the number of readers is guaranteed to increase. nine0003

                              Write clear captions

                              It’s not embarrassing to talk about what is shown in the photo. Riddles are not bad, but only in the format of a separate section. Chefs and restaurateurs are read not only by industry participants, and all subscribers are actually interested in what you want to say with your photo. Posting an image without a caption is much easier and faster, but it will be more useful if someone learns something new from you. nine0003

                              Detailed composition descriptions dishes increase appetite and increase the desire to go to the Saxon + Parole restaurant in Moscow and try everything there

                              or spammers). If you are invited to a dialogue by real people, the answer is not only polite, it will also show your proximity to the audience. This is exactly the point of social media. nine0003

                              Restaurant profile Saxon + Parole is active. Here, for example, representatives of the place answer in detail the question about the schedule of brunches

                              In the Delicatessen profile, they would rather joke in response (sometimes viciously). Instagram version with character

                              Someone seriously cares about the profile of Dmitry Zotov's restaurant - they answer almost all comments

                              Show the inner life of the kitchen

                              Everyone wants to get behind the scenes of anything - including the restaurant. Sometimes pictures of knives and stoves on Instagram get as hot as being in a real kitchen. If you maintain a restaurant account, then you can and should show everything hidden - preparations, food preparation processes, and even construction. nine0003

                              One of the chefs of Rene Redzepi's team (chef and owner of Noma, several times recognized as the best restaurant in the world) plays with his leg

                              Tell us about your team

                              Seeing the person who cooked your scrambled eggs, finding out the pastry chef's nickname and what kind of music the chef likes, looking at the device of the vacuum cleaner - all this is wildly interesting. People with their ideals, habits, beauty and intelligence can make any service, product and even a corporation a living thing. Without a team, a restaurant is nowhere, because there are always a lot of people behind the figure of a chef and a restaurateur. You can go further and post stories not only about your chefs and waiters, but even about your suppliers. nine0003

                              The Burger Brothers cafe team

                              Important Spanish chef Quique Dacosta and his wards celebrate the New Year. At work, of course

                              Shoot food-porn

                              Photos that evoke a fierce desire to eat, make you instantly remember the taste and smell of the most desired food in the world - why else was the camera invented, if not for this? Most often, the pictures worth tagging with the #foodporn hashtag show something with an erotic bias, that is, juicy and wet: droplets on a glass of cold cocktail, dripping sauce, oiled shrimp, bacon, and so on. nine0003

                              Food porn is David Chang's favorite genre. More often in video format, but here is an erotic portrait of a sandwich for you

                              Alexander Proshenkov, the chef of the Moscow Saxon + Parole restaurant, demonstrates only cooking sauce, but how addictive

                              Chang has more than one video with yolk - delve into his profile!

                              A joke, healthy sarcasm is good always and everywhere. A good sense of humor melts hearts.

                              A bit of Japanese luck, multiplied by the well-known soundtrack for the horror "Psycho", — in the profile of the restaurant Delicatessen, witty sketches on the topic of near-restaurant life often appear. We don't always share his way of thinking, but sometimes it's funny

                              The usual work of the kitchen to the music of Metallica, and then bam ... see for yourself. And a signature. Rene Redzepi's channel is the main source of examples of chef's jokes, they are always subtle and tasteful

                              As I said, the founder of the New York empire Momofuku Chang specializes in food porn, the profile of the Delicatessen restaurant has photos of bonfires (cardboard coasters) in which the co-owner and head waiter of the establishment Evgeny Samoletov draws scenes from bar life. A series on some topic close to you is what your profile can be remembered for and make readers come back (besides delicious food, of course).

                              Do not be afraid of art

                              Experiments with light, composition and placement of products in an unusual environment-in English it is called arty. Such photos rarely appear in the feeds of chefs and restaurants, so they catch the eye more. And it is also a great pleasure for the author of the frame to see and capture the not-so-standard beauty of this world. nine0003

                              Anthony Bourdain does karate on mats, chef David Chung's dog, William Lamberti on a yacht - all this is interesting if the hero himself is interesting. A chef and a restaurateur should not be shy to follow the example of successful beauty bloggers and alternate everything in the world with photos of their own eyebrows. nine0003

                              Animals and a restaurant are rather incompatible things. However, chefs often expose their pets or animals that have come to the restaurant with guests. Like a good sense of humor, animals are loved by everyone without exception. Even those who are allergic to them. nine0003

                              use Instagram filters

                              They will make the photo worse. It is better to use, for example, VSCO, Snapseed or Afterlight applications. The filters in them are much more delicate, and as a result, the photos look more realistic. In the same place, you can adjust the brightness, contrast, take the picture into the cold, or even out the perspective and angles. Yes, it will take a little longer, but it will make the pictures more expressive. Or do not use filters at all - it is becoming more and more fashionable. nine0003

                              Strive for natural light

                              Rule number one for any photographer is to always shoot in natural light if possible. The photo will turn out brighter, better quality, more details will be visible on it.

                              Build a composition

                              Look at the corners, whether everything fit into the frame from the right one - and vice versa, if something extra gets into it . If by nature you do not notice such things, just remember this rule and practice.

                              Most hearts on Instagram are collected by photos with the maximum possible distance from objects - a table on top, on which many different objects are placed. And vice versa - macro photography is popular, because you want to properly examine the food. Feel free to shoot your dishes from a close distance, even if in this case the portion sizes are not always clear, but beauty is visible in the smallest details. The first option is more suitable for a restaurant, the second is ideal for a chef account. nine0003

                              Shooting food at night is not a good idea, but gastronomic revelations also happen after sunset, and when it comes to a bar, it’s customary to turn off the lights at all . You can, of course, experiment with flash, but here's some advice from the category of life hacks: use a second phone as a spotlight and shoot on the first one without a flash.

                              And don't post food shot with a professional camera on Instagram

                              A profile consisting entirely of professional photos looks too promotional and without soul. Everyone wants to know what's going on in your restaurant right now and see people without posing.

                              A few tips on how to write a good greeting:

                              1. Call to action. Based on the text, you must determine the user's action: write a comment - tell about yourself, order a product or service, subscribe to an account or follow a link. nine0281
                              2. Structure of the text. The logic of the story should flow smoothly from one thought to another. Try to avoid abrupt and illogical transitions.

                              6. Title. The first thing the user notices is the title. For example, it could be a question.
                              7. Literacy and paragraphs. Don't forget to check the text for errors. Also divide the story into paragraphs and lists, add emoji. Users will be able to fix their eyes on important points and it is easier to perceive the text. nine0281

                              Mistakes when writing an introduction post

                              Consider three common mistakes in greetings:

                              1. Too many facts that don't tell your audience anything. For example, what kind of fruit do you like or what is your favorite color. If you are just starting to maintain an account on Instagram, this information will be useless for the target audience. nine0281
                              2. Slang and terms. Difficult or new words may be incomprehensible to new audiences. Try to communicate with users in their language, as if you were telling a story to a friend who does not understand your work.
                              3. Don't forget the goal. A greeting is not just a publication, but a way to attract the reader to perform a certain action.

                              How to choose the right hashtags for a post

                              Be sure to add hashtags and geotags to the post - they will help you find you on the social network. You can use up to 30 tags to be inserted into the post body. nine0003

                              • Post category — #postacquaintance, #5factobomb.
                              • Sellers - #copywriter services, #repair of apartments.
                              • By area to find a specific target audience - #moscow, #msk.

                              Important! Dilute high-volume hashtags with mid-volume or low-volume hashtags. So you will have a better chance of finding your target audience. nine0003
