Aren’t we all crazy making Instagram themes that best suit our personality?
As organized as you can be, you want to maintain your cool aesthetic, your own perception of color and arrangement.
You open a new account under the “dump” name and let your close friends follow. Trust me, the coolest persons are those with two Instagram accounts where they “photo dump” their photos on the other account.
What is photo dump?
Photo dump is dumping all your photos in a new Instagram account created by you of course. These are not photos you hate, these are photos that didn’t make it to the gram. Your feed can be filled with aesthetic whites, greens, or a minimalist theme and sometimes, these additional photos aren’t just the type that will fit that “theme” of yours—so you photo dump it.
With this pandemic and there are limited ways for travel, people tend to dump their photos with selfies and food or other recreational stuff like art on another IG account.
Why people photo dump?
There are countless personal reasons why people want to dump their photos. Well, for others, it’s all about:
MEMORIES
Instead of deleting short party clips or reunion photos with friends, you just upload it and let it stay there. You savor the memories like an old prayer.
SURPRISE
There are a lot of uploading ways on Instagram that we can never imagine, like soft-launching something. A small business you want to pursue, a particular throwback together with the new, or something random that let people swipe and see. Good as heck go with that.
LIFE UPDATES
Trust me, because people and friends are apart—they tend to have updates on their Instagram by flooding pictures on their dump feed with photos that corresponds to their day.
OTHER SIDE OF YOU
This is self-explanatory. You tend to have a look that is natural-looking, then suddenly you experimented about doing a heavy makeup for a change. You got your photos taken, they’re absolutely stunning as usual but they didn’t fit your gram feed so you might as well upload it on the dump account.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Instagrammers are memory hoarders. Why waste those short videos of your productivity and trip when you can upload it on your dump account? At least you won’t be worrying about the waste of time and memory.
CONCLUSION
There are so many ways to dump. Your photos of sunsets can be one of those, your mood board according to your favorite inspo ranging from Andy Warhol to Wes Anderson to Saoirse Ronan to Rihanna, why not?
Many celebrities do this too. It’s maybe their way of saving reputation, or for other people, it’s their own brand of authenticity.
