Instagram has come a long way since its start last decade. Still, the photo-sharing platform remains great for the function it was originally founded for. It has, however, expanded from a site where people share filtered shots of their food, pets, and daily activities to something much more vast. But there are many legit Instagram photographers that you have to know about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could argue that the sum of the entire world is crammed onto the platform. Want to see the most scenic shots of, well, any destination? Instagram has it. Want to see the cutest dogs or cats with a huge following on the internet? Yep, Instagram has it. Want to get close-up views of events that are currently unfolding? Well, Instagram has that, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it can be tricky to navigate without some help. And we’re here to do that \u2014 to provide a quick tour of some of our most-liked Instagram photographers on the site. Who knows, you just might start following your favorite photographer (many of whom sell their work online) and find just the photo to frame and hang in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel and Nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Travel<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a great big world out there, and let\u2019s face it, chances are we aren\u2019t going to be able to see it all firsthand but check out #<\/strong>TravelPhotography<\/strong><\/a>. If you want to get away for a bit but not leave your couch, this is a great hashtag to explore. Live vicariously through the lenses of these world travelers. #<\/strong>NaturePhotography<\/strong><\/a> is a great one to follow if you’re looking for some new scenery on your home feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are a few of our favorite travel and nature Instagram photographers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nature<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Murad Osmann<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may have seen one of this Russian photographer\u2019s many well-known photos where he views the world while being led by his wife by his outstretched hand in a series called \u201cFollow Me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we love this perspective in all the photos in the series, we believe this one captures the bond between humans and the expansiveness of the world perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jimmy Chin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What do you get when you combine a professional photographer, skier, and mountain climber? Spectacular photos! Jimmy Chin uses his skills in all three to give the rest of us a glimpse into a world we might otherwise not see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His photos will make you realize just how breathtaking the natural beauty of Earth is. They\u2019ll also make you want to get up and go explore the world. But if you\u2019re afraid of heights, you can still enjoy it all from a safer vantage point!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Russ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One look at the images on Kevin Russ\u2019s Instagram will tell you that he is a talented photographer. But when you learn that he uses an iPhone to take them, and you will shake your head in disbelief. There is an ethereal quality to his work, whether he is photographing pristine landscapes, wild horses, or remote locales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Instagram page states he is a \u201cFull-time traveler living in my car.\u201d By the looks of his pictures, he\u2019s driving to all the right places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Nicklen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 Paul Nicklen’s photos capture the sheer size of some of the ocean’s most gigantic creatures. It\u2019s no wonder he is a National Geographic contributor. And he doesn\u2019t just photograph the oceans and their inhabitants. He\u2019s a co-founder of SeaLegacy whose mission is \u201cto create healthy and abundant oceans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 He also seems to be friends with Jason Momoa, so that’s always a plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Burkard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One look at Chris Burkard\u2019s Instagram and you\u2019ll know he travels–a lot! There is a pretty common theme with a lot of the \u201cstars\u201d on Instagram: the world is pretty big, with a lot of places to visit, things to experience, and sights to capture on film. With stories entitled Glacier Point, Biking Iceland, and Mallorca (to name a few) you are sure to be taken on some awesome adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ha’a Keaulana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of all the U.S. states, Hawaii is certainly the most separated from the continental country, both in geography and climate \u2014 the latter of which is something that even Floridians and Southern Californians envy. Ha’a Keaulana is a Hawaiian who takes photos that will make you consider packing your bags and heading for the most Pacific pastures that the United States has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of Hawaii is self-evident, but Ha\u2019a, the daughter and granddaughter of Hawaiian surfing legends, brings an insider\u2019s <\/em>eye to her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Rose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Rose is a photographer and artist based in Arkansas. His photos are of tundra, forests, and cityscapes alike \u2014 as well as a few other exotic destinations thrown in there for good measure. As a self-proclaimed \u201cambassador\u201d to Arkansas, his photographs convey the stark beauty of his home state. Check out our post in our Learning Center on more things to do while in Arkansas<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal Lovers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"dogs<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d rather look at a framed picture of a furry friend than a landscape, check out these sites. #<\/strong>DoggosDoingThings<\/strong><\/a> is rated number 1 \u201cby every single dog.\u201d It\u2019s simple. People love their dogs. Dogs do adorable\/funny\/weird things. People take pictures of the dogs they love doing adorable\/funny\/weird things. And we love looking at them! They say dogs have owners and cats have staff; given how the latter always lies around the house in an aloof manner, it may be true. #<\/strong>CatsofInstagram<\/strong><\/a> documents all the things that our feline friends tolerate from their humans… and maybe their canine family members, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For just one of many Instagram photographers dedicated to their pets, check out this page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"kitten<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Theron Humphrey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are few things cuter on social media than Theron Humphrey’s dog Maddie. He brings her on all sorts of adventures \u2014 camping, hiking, fishing. Sometimes Maddie is wearing a hat.  Sometimes she\u2019s wearing clothes. Most of the time she\u2019s au natural. But all of the time she is adorable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 If you\u2019re a dog lover and know what a special connection there is between a dog and his owner, this is a great page to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"library<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are a couple of our favorite \u201cspecialty\u201d Instagram photographers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While nature might show off the breathtaking scenes that the elements carve into the Earth, cityscapes can certainly provide a testament to humankind’s ingenuity \u2014 and all the things that we can accomplish with a little teamwork and forward-thinking.  Check out #<\/strong>BuildingPhotography<\/strong><\/a> and you might add a few cities to your traveling bucket list as a result of the browsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Building<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Daryll Jones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might know that at Frame It Easy, some of us like Star Wars. It seems Daryll Jones is a fan, too. He has built a cult-like following on Instagram with his photos of Eric the Stormtrooper and other action figures in miniature. The South African native started taking these photos after moving to the UK and found the dreary weather restricted his usual nature photography. So, what do you do when you\u2019re bored? Pose Lego action figures in hilarious scenes, of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is definitely a place to browse for any nerd culture enthusiast. But you don\u2019t have to be a Star Wars fan (or even a nerd<\/em>) to enjoy these pictures. They will certainly make you smile, and some will even make you laugh out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring the World From The Comfort Of Your Computer or Phone.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
