Today one of the ways to make yourself known as a photographer is through Instagram. But, if you do not make a difference, if you do not use creativity to take photos that attract the attention of users, your creations may be lost in the “sea” of this social network. Therefore, today we bring you a compilation of 11 incredible photographers who will serve as inspiration for your publications.
The inspiration for your photos is on Instagram
As we mentioned before, one of the fundamental objectives that your works must fulfill is to attract attention. And you can do this in many ways: from using the same color palette in all your posts , taking only ultra-striking landscape photos or, why not, publishing black and white portraits but with some differential aspect. We hope that this selection of photographers with a wide range of themes will help you to extract some interesting idea.
Tobias Hägg ( @airpixels )
Tobias Hägg is a Stockholm photographer who only does aerial shooting. Thus he manages to draw the attention of the viewer since, it is not a habitual point of view for everyone. Her color palette is also very striking and, on her Instagram account, she kneads a whopping more than half a million people following her posts.
Dennis Prescott ( @dennistheprescott )
Dennis Prescott is a “man orchestra” since, in addition to being a food photographer, he is also a chef, participates in the Restaurants On The Edge program on Netflix and also collaborates with other companies in the food world. As you can see on his profile, his publications are extremely striking and with an exquisite composition. When it comes to food, the colors in his photos vary depending on what he cooks, although he tries to keep the same type of surfaces on which he places his creations before photographing them to follow a pattern.
Manfred Baumann ( @manfredbaumann )
Manfred Baumann is an Austrian photographer whose feed stands out for his black and white portraits. Despite the fact that these publications do not have color, it manages to take the soul out of these creations and draw a lot of attention with the facial touch, lights and shadows. Among her photos we can see many famous characters such as Natalie Portman, Martin Sheen, Sandra Bullock, William Shatner and Bruce Willis.
John Bozinov ( @johnbozinov )
Now it is the turn of nature photography. John Bozinov fires exclusively from his polar expeditions. Among his publications we can see from frozen landscapes, penguins, seals, birds or himself “pulling” from a boat. As it is such a specific and complex type of photography, it is difficult for other creators to have a feed similar to John’s.
Simone Bramante ( @brahmino )
Simone Brabante is an Italian creative director and photographer who, as you can see by taking a look at his Instagram, makes use of his profession in each of his publications. We can find quite creative and post all kinds. He does not take photographs with the same theme, nor does he follow a specific color palette or a fixed style, he only lets his imagination run wild in each of the works he publishes.
Chris Burkard ( @chrisburkard )
Chris Burkard has a style that is characterized by quite daring landscape photographs: we find it the same when walking on the edge of a precipice, climbing a rock wall or surfing a wave. With his project he tries to inspire the more than three million people who follow him and show the inhospitable places he visits.
Theron Humphrey ( @thiswildidea )
Theron Humphrey is a photographer who made himself known at Instagran in one of his projects. A road trip through 50 states where he found his great friend and main image of his account: Maddie. Thanks to the talent of both, we can see images of their day to day quite creative and that serve as inspiration for more than a million users, who try to replicate the photographs of Theron with their own pets.
Nirav Patel ( @niravphotography )
And speaking of creative photographers, Nirav Patel makes impressive portraits that are out of the ordinary norm. His creations play a lot with the lights and shadows, to create that environment that plays with the darkness and the rays of colored lights.
Michael Shainblum ( @shainblumphotography )
Michael Shainblum is an absolutely amazing landscape photographer and filmmaker. Perhaps he is not one of the best known, although more than half a million people follow him on his account. His creations are incredibly superior to many other landscape content creators. Among them we can see that dark environment that is so fashionable, that it plays with ultra striking views, long exposures and very varied places.
Lindsay Adler ( @lindsayadler_photo )
Lindsay Adler is an American photographer who is mostly engaged in fashion and portraiture. He also gives talks and transmits his knowledge within the photographic community itself. Among his publications we can see a spectacular creativity when it comes to shooting photos to catwalk models.
Jasonm Peterson ( @jasonmpeterson )
Jasonm Peterson is a black and white photographer who publishes very striking content. His posts are of many types although, for the most part, he does urban and landscape photography. A creator who already inspires more than a million people who follow his feed daily.
Time to put everything into practice
Having seen all these accounts, you will have noticed that each one of them tries to attract attention within its own photographic field / theme. These creators squander talent, ideas and creativity.
If you are looking for ways to get inspired, surely among them you can extract many examples that will help you create better content. Our advice is that you do not focus on one of them exclusively, but try to absorb all the aspects that appeal to each of them and reflect it in those photographs that you upload to Instagram.
