If you've never shot in front of a graffiti wall, then this is your chance to add a touch of spunk onto your feed. The word ‘graffiti’ is practically synonymous with ‘Insta-worthy’ at this point. On its own or as part of your background, graffiti art is the instant way to add some edge to your aesthetic.
2. Rothko Chapel
Location: 3900 Yupon St.

*note* Photos are not permitted within the chapel* This is one of the most serene places to take pictures in Houston. Recognized as a major work of modern art, this memorial is dedicated to those who have suffered at the hands of hate. Try not to lose yourself in the remarkable beauty of its outside space, because the interior of this chapel is equally as impressive.
Inside, you’ll find a sacred space draped with 14 abstract paintings from the artist, Mark Rothko. Although photos aren’t permitted inside the chapel, there’s more than enough to work with on the outside.
3. Rosemont Bridge
Location: Buffalo Bayou

Calling all hopeless romantics! This pedestrian bridge is one of the most adorable places to take pictures in Houston. Aside from the love locks, there’s also a pretty spectacular view of the skyline since this bridge is situated right above Allen Parkway.
If you’re looking for a laid-back spot to take pictures with your lover (or maybe some solo shots with a city skyline), Buffalo Bayou Park is your best bet.
4. Houston Museum of Natural Science
Location: 5555 Hermann Park Dr.

Time to grow your IG feed and mind - head over to the Museum of Natural Science for some "out of this world" photo inspo. Museums and art galleries are the best places for refined ‘candids.’ Set up a timer, strike an inquisitive pose, and enjoy the ambiance!

Your Insta-game will reach new heights with this 30-foot-tall standing metaphor. This kinetic sculpture has become an iconic monument for Downtown Houston, located just outside of the George R. Brown Convention Centre.
The best thing about this sculpture is that it lights up in the evening, so you can take photos at any hour of the day.
