- Traveling solo can pose challenges when trying to capture the perfect non-selfie photo of yourself.
- To improve my photography skills during a recent trip, I sought advice from TikToker MJ Hedderman.
- Hedderman, known for her photography expertise, shared tips on how to take great solo travel photos.
MJ Hedderman, a digital creator with over one million followers on TikTok, gained the nickname “the Instagram girlfriend” because she learned to take her own photos instead of relying on a partner.
As an expert in self-photography, Hedderman regularly shares tutorials on how to capture high-quality solo travel photos. She teaches her followers about angles, creative poses, and most importantly, gaining confidence to showcase their best selves in the real world.
Hedderman’s journey has become a symbol of independence and self-sufficiency. She encourages people to embrace their individuality and become their own Instagram girlfriends.
Inspired by Hedderman’s expertise, I decided to embark on my own journey as an Instagram girlfriend during my recent trip to Paris. I sought Hedderman’s advice for capturing non-selfie photos while traveling alone, and she provided me with three valuable tips to create the perfect snapshots.
Her suggestions of ignoring others’ opinions, using props in photos, and capturing videos instead of photos and screenshotting the best frames boosted my confidence and enhanced my photography experience.

This simple tip addresses the age-old question of what to do with your hands in photos. Instead of feeling awkward, Hedderman suggests incorporating movement or holding a prop like a coffee cup or sunglasses. This technique adds a natural and relaxed feel to your photos.
Capture a video and screenshot the best frame

Hedderman suggests capturing a video instead of a series of photos. This way, you can easily review the footage and choose the best frame to screenshot. By following this advice and incorporating props, I found myself capturing decent photos effortlessly.
I tested this technique at the Panthéon in Paris, and while the resulting photo may not be “perfect,” it reflects a fun and creative moment. I was thrilled to see that the video tip worked effectively.
Embrace freedom from others’ opinions
