Right now I am obsessed with creating mini-films for Instagram Stories. If you follow me on Instagram and watch my Stories, or if you've read this post and this one, you'll already know this.
I am often found with my iPhone in my hand ready to record little moments lasting a mere few seconds in order to weave them into a story on my computer later that day. You can find my mini-films from early autumn in this compilation below:
I also like to watch Instagram Stories, too. One of my favourites is Fiona Annal who also has one of my favourite feeds, Fiona lives in the Orkney Islands and her stories are a rich narrative of life there, I also love Laura's Stories from Circle of Pines. Laura features her trips out and where she's going and what she's reading. With lots of book shops!
There's a lot of give in both their Stories. They're comforting and full of warmth.
As Instagram Stories is a big part of my online life I decided to ask on Instagram who you like to watch. So here are some recommendations for you to check out (in no particular order).
