With so many Instagrams at influencer status these days (most of which are using the same images throughout their feeds) it can be hard to determine who’s worth following and who isn’t.
To help you step up your feed and not feel cluttered by scrolling through endless images that all look the same, we’ve compiled a list of some of the coolest Instagrams you absolutely have to follow (if you aren’t already). From tattoo artists to our favorite foodies, here’s who we’re following:

A skateboarder and a phenomenal photographer, Humza Daes takes some of the most spectacular images of the city. If you really love his work you can buy prints for yourself off of his website!

This one is adorable. Dad and foodie Mike Chau takes create pictures with his two children and, of course, food! Whether he’s making them a hat from a bitten cookie or just showing how hilarious children can be around food, you’ll be happy to have this one on your feed.
@13thwitness

Another New York photographer with amazing images. The difference between 13th Witness and the others? His unique eye of turning casual things into extraordinary photos. The photographer behind the name is Tim McGurr, and his father is “legendary street artist Futura” which already tells you he’s a cool guy to have on your feed. He also travel, so not all images are solely of NYC.

An “artist and spiritual advisor,” Rachel Howe already has a following of 32.6 thousand followers. Although she’s technically not an NYC account anymore (since she very recently moved to Los Angeles), she still holds a place on our feed. Regardless of where she’s moved to, we love reading her inspiring messages.

Tattooing between Hawaii and NYC, Becca Roach is one of the cooler Instagrams to be following (assuming you’re into awesome artists and tattoos). She’s also tattooed Lady Gaga on multiple occasions, so that’s pretty cool too.
@megan_massacre

Another really amazing tattoo artist to follow is Megan Massacre, who works out of her studio Grit N Glory in NYC. You won’t only get tons of pictures of ink when you follow her, but you’ll get a glimpse of her kickass style and rotating hair color as well.
@noleftovers
https://www.instagram.com/p/BYgbzMBga1_/?taken-by=noleftovers
If you live in New York and like to eat, then chances are you’ve heard of the No Leftovers account and are probably already following it. If not, get on it! Jackie Rose Gebel takes these fantastic food photos from where she goes and what she tries. The images will jump start your appetite, easily.
@stuffbeneats

This Instagram has a more Brooklyn vibe to the images (that’s possible, right?) than No Leftovers does, which totally makes sense since Ben Hon lives in Brooklyn. He eats some really amazing stuff and warning: you’re going to want to try every place in his photographs.
@samhorine

With a medley of landscape, architecture, and human elements in his images, Sam Horine gives us sharp photographs that display the beauty of natural light and everyday people. His photographs will inspire you to take off on a journey of your own, and you definitely should!

We finish off our list with a great lifestyle account by Vivian Huang. Her images are styled so perfectly you can almost see them featured in beautiful magazines. Not only does she love food and photograph it well but she takes us on her adventures while traveling as well. If you follow her you’ll know she’s currently living it up in Spain.
