Sienna.and.i
Danielle’s photos capture the imagination of children and bring it to life.

This Instagram account is great if you want to let your mind wander and think about the modern possibilities of photography.
Taraherron_photography
Similar to Sienna.and.i, Taraherron_photography has a lot of creative ideas that make her photos stand out. Often using her daughter as a model, these photos very clearly make use of Photoshop but in a way that blurs the lines between real and imaginary.
Anna Huix
Anna’s use of bright colours and atypical perspectives make her photos pop. These photos are great for giving you colour inspiration and would work really well with product photography or portaits too.

Pamela Hanson
Another big-name photographer, Pamela’s work regularly uses female models in portrait and commercial photos. There is much to learn here about the use of soft, diffused light and the difference understanding how to pose your models makes.
Monaris_ – Paola M Franqui
Paola’s photos tend to be darker and moodier, which if you’re into that kind of thing is fantastic. The lesson to learn from Paola’s Instagram is the importance of finding your own style which really should be something you are passionate about shooting and editing.

Erin has some incredible wildlife and travel photos on her account. She also makes use of miniatures and macro photography to come up with creative and amusing shots like the one above.
Rachelbarkman
Rachel is another adventure-style photographer whose individual style comes from using earthy tones and often a shallow depth of field in her edits.
