10 Recommendations For Photographers Worth Following On Instagram

Instagram is a wonderful resource that has grown and grown to include material from a whole range of different fields and it now has uses that its creators would never have imagined it would receive. The ironic thing is that the app still functions as it was initially intended, as somewhere for people to share photos. Facebook, which now owns Instagram, had the ability to share photos but Instagram took that and made it their sole focus. So, sometimes it’s nice to look at photos on Instagram and to follow people using it for its original purpose. Let’s check out 10 photographers worth following.

Lubezki, known as Chivo, is one of the most decorated cinematographers of all time, with an incredible eye for visuals.

Victoria Siemer (@witchoria)

Siemer has an extraordinarily individualistic approach to her photography, incorporating surreal and supernatural understandings of physics into otherwise standard landscape photography. Her photos contain people in poses that aren’t normally possible, making for very interesting viewing. For a taste of the wacky and wild, Witchoria is a great account to follow.

Guttenfelder is actually a professional photographer for the National Geographic as his day job. But he knows his medium so his Instagram, which features an extraordinary and diverse range of photos, is full of only smartphone snaps, which is a bit mindboggling when you take a look at the sort of amazing content that he has on his feed.

The Swim Reaper (@iamtheswimreaper)

The Swim Reaper

This is a good one to follow for a bit of a laugh. This account features nice holiday pictures all of which have the account owner dressed in a disturbingly realistic grim reaper’s outfit. It’s a sort of satire of holiday pictures and a terrifying reminder of the presence of death, all rolled into one. What’s not to love!

Simone Bramante (@brahmino)

Simone Bramante

As a creative director and a photographer, Bramante has an Instagram to die for. Beautifully captured pictures which seem to evoke a story with only a single frame. “There is a deeply cinematic element to Bramante’s feed, something which it is impossible to draw your eyes away from. The stories pour out of the digital frame”, say Leah Goodwin, photography writer at Paper Fellows and Australian Help.
