Some people take this Instagram thing pretty seriously.
Really, really seriously.
Gone are the days where people only post photos of their morning latte art, ‘grammers’ are using this app to showcase some serious photographic talent. So if your Instagram feed is full of cats, selfies and what your friends are having for lunch then perhaps it’s time to explore some new accounts!
Here’s our list of Instagram accounts that will keep your feed beautiful, inspiring, and filled with colour and edge.
@STICKS_AND_STONES_AGENCY
The couple behind this Instagram are perhaps the coolest husband-and-wife you’ll ever lay eyes on.
Ainsley and Sebastien are an Australian duo who style and direct photo shoots while producing content for their website. Their Instagram is raunchy, edgy and full of attractive young people oozing with style.
Mark Cushway (A.K.A. @MARK_PC) is an Instagrammer who describes his work as ‘minimal digital art in little square boxes’. Sounds good, huh? Well, it is!
He’s based in Sydney but his feed would have you thinking otherwise as he uploads from cities far and wide.
@MATJOEZ If you don’t have enough sunset pics on your feed then follow this beautiful feed. He’s got some epic photos of skies that honestly never get old and amazing time lapses of stars and city lights.
@TANYA_LING is an artist that uses the square format of Instagram to create a feast for the eyes. The account is best viewed in the whole grid, as the photos are fragments that overlap to make up larger pictures.
It’s an amazing way to ‘think outside the square’!
When you’re back at work and you’ve got a severe case of Mondayitis scroll through @TWISTDEE’s account for some solid daydreaming. Her feed is full of magical locations and short quotes to inspire some dreams about far away places. It’s ethereal without the clichés.
@CLOSETVOYAGE (Jiawa Liu) is one of Canberra’s favourite Instagrammers with a key eye on fashion and design. With a gentle pale palette, Closet Voyage will sweep you away to your next fashion purchase with her soft and seductive snaps.
@ROBMULALLAY’s feed is a jumble of adventure and beauty, as the Sydney photographer has no limits on how far he’ll travel for a good Instagram pic. His photos are like snippets of stories from far away places.
@THEMERRYMAKERSISTERS Everyone needs to be following at least one healthy Instagra. In Canberra, The Merrymaker Sisters totally own it. If you find it difficult to stick to your New Year’s resolution of healthy eating and exercise, then why not just watch someone else do it while you lounge on the couch.
@NOTQUITENIGELLA is your go-to Sydney food blogger. It is an important account to follow as she’ll inform you on where to go for the best gelato or give you recipe ideas like a GIANT Cheese and Vegemite scroll.
Genius!
@GAVRIELMAYNARD_ is a Sydney based photographer whose work blew up last year. His Instagram offers a glimpse into the shoots he’s pumping out including work for fashion magazines Oyster and RUSSH.
He’s got an original style for portraits that are balanced with other abstract and quirky photos.
