Everybody needs inspiration. Photographers need visual inspiration. That’s why I compiled 10 Instagram accounts to follow for inspiration.
Background
All of us who work in creative fields need inspiration. It’s what keeps our creative juices flowing or, in case we are in a rut, helps us get out of it. For photographers, this is usually visual inspiration, admiring the works of others, even if they work in different fields or specialties.
Based on this, I groomed my instagram feed to help me get inspired and I think you may like some of the accounts I follow.
The List
Without further ado, here’s the list.
Anna Devis and Daniel Rueda @anniset / @drcuerda


This is a couple from Valencia who create amazing, original and creative portraits which incorporate architecture or environmental elements to tell short stories. They are just amazing!
Tyler Shields @thetylershields

If you’re interested in editorial and fashion photography, keep an eye on this guy. He’s a filmmaker based in Los Angeles who creates amazing editorial images.
Jordan Matter @jordanmatter

He’s a british photographer based in New York City who shoots ballet dancers. The trick is, he usually shoots them on the street, or the subway, airports, anywhere you wouldn’t expect to see a ballet image.
National Geographic @natgeo

Do I need to explain this one? ;-)
Brad Moore @bmoorevisuals

If you’re interested in concert photography or bands portraits, this is the guy to follow. I first heard of him when he worked with Scott Kelby, he showed his work there and I realized he’s an accomplished photographer. You won’t regret following him.
Desk Tour @desktour

This is probably my OCD speaking, but I found the images from this account really satisfying. They display neat, clean work desk settings from people around the world.
Personal Development Lovers @personaldevelopmentlovers

If quotes are your thing, follow this account! It has daily inspirational quotes from all kinds of leaders, that you can apply to your development in many areas.
Joe Allam @joeallam

Travel photography is Joe Allam’s specialty. He’s based in the UK but he travels regularly all around the world and shares beautiful images from his destinations. I especially enjoyed his images from Japan but all his posts are awesome.
Ben Thomas @___benthomas

He shoots architecture, but then uses a post-process to remove details and use as many primary colors as possible, so you see the essence of the building in the image. His style is quite unusual so you may love it or hate it.
Architecture Daily @archdaily

If you’re interested in architecture in any way, don’t miss a post from this account. Besides showing great architecture from around the world, they also link to their website where they feature up and coming architects, as well as established ones.
Even though these are not all the Instagram accounts I follow, these are the ones I enjoy following the most, because their images are a source of inspiration for me.
