"I follow a little more than 200 Instagram accounts and I like them all. Rather than list [National Geographic](https://instagram.com/natgeo/)—which is well known and has the best Instagram account—I’m instead listing five individual accounts that are ones that I especially look forward to seeing." - Pete Souza, Chief Official White House Photographer

"Brad is a baseball photographer in San Francisco and posts only (masterful) iPhone photos on his account. He was instrumental in convincing me to open an Instagram account of my White House work."

"David is a freelance photographer whom I’ve never met. He is just a superb photographer who really knows how to make great, great photographs with his iPhone. I love his recent coverage of Yellowstone National Park."

"Brandi is a singer-songwriter from Seattle who happens to front one of the most underrated bands working today. (She and the band played a set at my wedding two years ago.) She posts a lot of great concert photos as well as behind-the-scene photos of her traveling crew. Shout-out to Hanna Hanseroth for taking most of these photos."

"Let’s face it, Paul (whom I’ve never met) might be the best photographer on Instagram. Although most of his nature and wildlife photographs are probably with a DSLR, I am always struck not just by the photographs themselves but knowing how difficult the circumstances must have been in capturing them."
