Before the first pitch is thrown, before the fans stream in to take their seats, even before the scoreboard switches on, Adam Ottavino (@adamottavino) is at the ballpark taking photographs. “I like to get to the field early some days when there’s no one around and walk around with my camera,” says Adam, a professional baseball pitcher with the Colorado Rockies. “It just gives me something to take my mind off all the stuff that’s going on in my baseball life at that moment, and just allow me to appreciate where I am and soak up the environment that I’m lucky enough to be in. It puts my head back where it needs to be.” Photo by @adamottavino

“I know that some day, music and the images I see in my head will collide into something greater,” says 21-year-old Mexico City photographer SeoJu Park (@seojups), who has been singing since the age of nine. “I started with classical music and found out I had a strong and heavy voice for an Asian,” she laughs. “I always believed I was meant to be born in the 1960s as a black woman, where my voice would fit my looks.” Born to Korean parents — her father is an Olympic Taekwondo trainer and her mother is an artist — SeoJu feels more Mexican than Korean. Nowadays, she’s come to appreciate her multicultural upbringing. “When I was little, it was kind of hard to understand why I was different — not only physically, but in the way I thought about things. Now, it’s a true gift.” Being a global citizen means many opportunities for travel, and SeoJu is often on the road. However, she has discovered she is more interested in capturing emotion than physical places. “It’s more about the light and the experiences. Whether it’s on the road or not, it can be just a feeling or a moment you’re having. I believe that the way to get great shots is not just about the backdrop, but more about the experience. The feelings you felt, the stories you heard, the culture and the people. Most of all, the people.” Photo by @seojups

“Latin America is like a punch in the nose. It suddenly gets your attention. It startles you,” says Eduardo Lindes Burnao (@murnaudenlinden), who draws inspiration from that region for his illustrations.
Eduardo, a graphic designer from Spain currently living in London, loves to explore the Latin American culture. “That’s why I use primary, basic colors like yellow or blue because I want people to be shocked by the drawings.” His grandfather used to listen to folk Latin music and that left a cultural footprint on Eduardo, whose goal now is to build bridges across the Atlantic. “I think Europe still has some unpaid debt with Latin America, and there’s still a lot of ignorance about that region and its important role in the world.” He hopes his illustrations will help with that. “In this moment, in the world we live in, we need some joy, more color, more flavor.” Photo by @murnaudenlindenby Instagram via Scontent.cdninstagram 4/7/2015 1:26:18 PM -
In December's creative tools update, we introduced five new filters and brought you the ability to tweak perspective as part of the Adjust tool. Today, we bring you two new creative tools: Color and Fade.
Use the Color tool to tint the highlights or shadows in your photo. You can choose from yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, cyan or green to add a colorful flair to the moments you share. The Fade tool allows you to bring a quiet tone to your photos by softening colors.
Instagram for Android version 6.19.0 is available today on Google Play, and Instagram for iOS version 6.10.0 will be available in a few days in Apple’s App Store.by Instagram via Scontent.cdninstagram 4/7/2015 5:09:09 PM -

“They said being a photographer is some crazy dream I would never attain,” says Bangladeshi photojournalist Ismail Ferdous (@ismailferdous), describing the initial reactions from his family when he told them his career ambitions. “But I knew inside that I was going to pursue photography.” Having found his calling, Ismail set out into the world, capturing vignettes of life from South East Asia to Latin America to the conflicted border of Turkey and Syria. At home in Bangladesh, he continues to work on a long-term project called “The Cost of Fashion” that began on April 24th, 2013, when a clothing factory collapsed in Dhaka, killing and wounding thousands of garment workers inside. He reflects on the path he chose, saying, “it took a while to feel confident inside myself that I could do this job. Before I could convince other people I had to convince myself.” Photo by @ismailferdous

“Bats are the bees of the mammal world,” says Caroline Greco (@nightingalequilts), who has nursed back to health more than 30 bats from her home in New South Wales, Australia.
Caroline hopes to demystify and soften perceptions of these creatures among a bat-wary public. “Without them whole ecosystems will collapse, with a domino effect passing on to human society,” she says.
The bats in Caroline’s care are not pets. She’s specially trained to know the rehabilitative needs of each rescued bat so that it can be returned to the wild. Handling of adults is kept to a minimum, for instance. And for young bats, a priority is placed on preparing them to interact with others. “We provide them with toys and enrichment to keep their minds active and ensure they develop into well-adjusted juvenile bats ready to learn social skills from adult bats,” says Caroline, adding, “The priority is the animal’s welfare.” If you encounter an injured bat, says Caroline, the best way to keep yourself and the bat safe is to call local wildlife experts with proper training and vaccinations.

The latest show of the artist José Parlá (@joseparla), at the High Museum of Art (@highmuseumofart) in Atlanta, includes new paintings with rich textures, layers and his signature calligraphy. “I am interested in walls I see around the world that allow the viewer to find a clue to their history, but also much more — the history of a place,” José says. The show, open until May 24, includes two-sided, sculptural pieces in a room at the museum made almost entirely of glass. “The work can be photographed from all angles of the space, as well as from outside,” says José, who lives in Brooklyn. “My favorite time is around 4:30 p.m.,bwhen you can photograph your own shadow — or that of a friend — on the surface of one of the sculptures.” photo by @joseparla

“There’s a comfort in things that loop. I think that as a species we’re drawn to things that are innately hypnotic,” says London-based digital designer Natalia Stuyk (@nataliastuyk). Natalia creates animated videos and gifs in response to the shapes, textures and colors she sees around her. Her short loops are often silent as they are a work in progress, but she uses sound as the starting point. “I write the soundtracks first, which dictate the rhythm of the movement and cuts of the video,” she says. Natalia looks at a still image and wonders how it might move, and says she is fascinated with repetition. She admits she is never fully satisfied until she knits together her videos seamlessly. “I like it most when you can’t tell where something starts and ends, it just goes on forever,” she says. “I feel like everything I create has a similar visual rhythm.” Video by @nataliastuyk

Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPcolorplay
To celebrate the arrival of new seasons and our Color and Fade tools, the goal this weekend is to capture creative photos and videos that explore the playful world of color all around us. Here are some tips to get you started:
Challenge yourself to find colors that delight you or catch your attention unexpectedly. If you have a favorite color, keep it in mind as you explore and see where it appears. How can you see it like you never have before? Next, seek out or create moments where color is the main subject and has a life of its own. Finally, remember to have fun! Pair colors in unexpected ways, play with patterns and let your imagination run wild.
PROJECT RULES: Please add the #WHPcolorplay hashtag only to photos and videos taken over this weekend and only submit your own photographs and videos to the project. Any tagged image or video taken over the weekend is eligible to be featured Monday morning.
For more examples and inspiration, check out blog.instagram.com.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people fill the streets of Seville, Spain, during “Semana Santa,” or Holy Week, the week leading up to Easter Sunday, for a religious festival that is both somber and joyous. “The Holy Week for people in Seville is an emotion, a lifestyle,” says Elizabeth Padilla (@lizpv), a Mexican photographer living in Madrid who visited this year’s festivities. “For them it is happiness, absolute happiness. It’s something they’ve been waiting for the whole year. But at the same time, it is withdrawal, devotion — you can see the faith on their faces. It’s also a moment of pride — they don’t care if they are tired, if they have walked for 12 hours, have an ulcer on their bodies or are barefoot.” Dozens of processions are held around the clock with colorful floats depicting scenes surrounding Jesus’ last days, and members of brotherhoods march dressed in penitential robes with pointed hoods so they can repent in anonymity. That contrasts with the attire of those observing. “Men attending the festivities are dressed in suits as if they were heading to a wedding,” says Elizabeth. “Women wear black dresses and stilettos so it looks like a party, but at the same time, it’s clear that is a sign of respect towards the Holy Week. My grandmother used to tell me that was the way people dressed in Mexico for the Holy Week, but not anymore. In Seville, however, the tradition still prevails.” Photo by @davidsevilla1976

As the daughter of an art teacher father and sign painter mother, Chicago yoga instructor Soren Buchanan (@spritesoren) grew up surrounded by the visual arts. During her time in college in Florida, her own keen interest in street art began to emerge: “I began noticing, photographing and jumping fences to get to street art and graffiti.” Her second passion, however, didn’t emerge until she left Miami in 2009. “I spent my first Midwestern winter shocked, frozen and hiding from the cold,” Soren says. “I knew I needed to adapt and create my own warmth. Yoga was the answer.” Thriving in Chicago's vibrant urban art scene, it was an easy decision for Soren to marry her love of yoga and street murals through the images that she shares. As she tells it, “I hope to accent the art, complement it with human interaction — and yoga provides endless possibilities for shapes and expression.” As Soren develops her own community, she broadens the reach for the artists she highlights. “Artist recognition is very important to me. If people are drawn to my images, they need to know who I am collaborating with,” she explains. “I hope to bring attention to artists who, other than on the streets, might have limited venues showcasing their art and sharing their styles.” Photo by @spritesoren

“I like the fact that Bangkok has everything, but no clear organization,” says architect and designer Ratvanich Thepa, who goes by Noi (@noithepa). In this edition of #LocalLens, Noi shares some of his favorite places to shoot around his hometown of Bangkok. “On the east side of the Chao Phraya River, you can find history, handicrafts and the ancient way of life,” says Noi about the historical area of Rattanakosin Island. “There are temples, a royal palace, universities and lots of old communities, and it’s very charming.” He also likes to explore the abundant nature located not too far from the city. “You can travel east or west for less than an hour and get to the sea, and you can get to the rain forest – Khao Yai National Park – in an hour or two if you feel the need for some fresh air,” he says. Noi especially loves driving westward along the coastal route that leads directly down to southern Thailand, as well as Bang Pu — an old seaside resort located southeast of the city, where thousands of seagulls migrate from Siberia. “There are diverse ways of life and a mix of both old and new style houses and buildings,” Noi says of Bangkok, “so there’s always a lot going on.” Photo by @noithepa
