201‍‍‍8 ‍‍‍TRENDY LOCATIONS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS IN OTTAWA

If you have an Instagram theme that has the colour palette of white, brown, grey, or beige, this farm is the farm for you. This farm has so many nice places to take pictures of, besides the most popular ones: the Arboretum, Ornamental Gardens, Tropical Greenhouse and etc, their field crops are even better. Their field crops are filled with corn, crops and etc. They have paths for you to even walk inside these paths which leads to a very nice place to take pictures at (especially in the fall). The background has a neutral, relaxed, and fall vibe that can fit perfectly with your fall theme. You can walk through the field and do the Three-Point Smile pose that I talked about in my other blog “Top 10 Instagram Poses You Need to Know”. Aside from that, it’s a nice place to even go for a jog, walk, or even bike ride. Please click this link‍‍‍ to l‍‍‍earn more about the wam.

Ever wonde‍‍‍r where you should take your photos in the capital city of Canada? Ottawa must have beautiful destinations since it’s the capital, right? Correct! Ottawa has so many beautiful places that people all over the world can come and visit. However, through the many different options, this I will highlight the top 3 trendy destinations that people have taken in 2018 so far. The main ones are Experimental Farm, Ontario Art Gallery, and, Kricklewood Farm. (Disclaimer: Judgement is based on the numerous people/bloggers I follow that are from Ottawa)

1. EXPERI‍‍‍MENTAL FARM

2. ONTARI‍‍‍O ART GALLERY

3. KRICKLEWOO‍‍‍D FARM

The Ontario Art Gallery is another destination that is filled with a variety of art pieces of many talented artists. Since its grand opening in April 2018, the place has been a destination to not only to look at amazing art but to take photos with various art pieces. As you can see in the photo, this wall is well known for its simplicity of a white background while having some texture at the same time. Many people come here to pose in front of this wall because of its simplicity with great natural lighting since it’s outside. They also have a neon sign inside the building as well which you can pose in front of. Also, they have a very nice café seating area as well which has nice colours such as navy blue, gold, grey, white, and etc. Please visit their website‍‍‍ for more details
