Creative Instagram Accounts to Follow For A Dose Of Inspiration

1.@humansofny

Created by the photographer and writer Brandon Stanton, the quirkily-appealing Humans of New York has highlighted stories of hundreds of people interviewed on the streets of NYC — be they heartbreaking or uplifting. Reading these stories may inspire a photojournalism project of your own. There is something so empowering about seeing the potential for a story behind every individual you meet. Make sure to add @humansofny to your list of accounts to follow.
