This past December, Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom announced that the social network had grown to more than 300 million active users who are sharing an average of 70 million photos a day. Just shy of five years since its launch, Instagram has indisputably grown into one of the most creative social networks. Long gone are the days of being able to mock the platform, labeling it as trivial or even narcissistic. Sure, there are still plenty of pictures (unimpressive) meals and don’t get us started on the #selfies. But in all the beautiful noise of photos and videos on Instagram is a community of photographers inspiring us by their work and encouraging us to view the world through a similar lens, both literally and figuratively.
In January Paste shared a list of 30 Instagram Photographers to Follow;. As an update, we’re sharing 15 more photographers worth a place in your Instagram feed. We encourage you to share your favorites in the comments below.

Photographer and pilot Adam Senatori (<a?>@adamsenatori) has amassed 830,000 followers by sharing photos both on and above ground.

He shares photos of his flyovers and layovers from places like Glacier National Park, Iceland, Los Angeles, New York City and plenty of destinations in between.
??3. Alison Roman (@alison?e?roman)

For the ultimate in food photography, Alison Roman (@alisoneroman) is a must follow. She’s senior food editor at Bon Appétit and has the Instagram to prove it.

You’re better off asking where he isn’t. Andrew Evans (@wheresandrew) snaps photos (iPhone only) as he traverses the globe as National Geographic’s Digital Nomad.
