Benny Winfield Jr. only takes close-up selfies which are all virtually the same type which feature his trademark smile and looking straight into the camera.

Adam Elkins impressed me with his use of puddles! He takes photos of people or sights that are reflected in water, which I find very stunning!
He also used hashtags very well. #portraitsinpuddles and #puddle_warfare are two that were featured. Hashtags are key for success on Instagram.

Russian photographer Murad Osmann has photos mainly of his girlfriend leading him by the hand in various places all around the world. Very nice!

Top 30 Instagram accounts of 2013 – Brands

I love how Burberry have been very careful to keep true alignment to their brand style with every image uploaded to their Instagram account. If you have never heard of Burberry, or never read their brand statement, you could have a very good guess what their brand keywords were by just looking at their Instagram account. #kudos (If you want to see how close you were, have a look at their about us page).

And that is my list of the top 30 Instagram accounts of 2013! Here is the follow up post, the top 40 of 2014

My company and I

Well, that list of 30 accounts is superb in my opinion. I have noticed Instagram being mentioned more and more by journalists in all kinds of newspapers and magazines during 2013. So maybe 2014 will see even more growth in its use. With Instagram, who needs Vine?

I spend a lot of time enjoying Instagram. I have just one wish. I would love a feature to list accounts using Instagram itself, like Twitter has the list feature. Finally I must mention my own humble account plus the account from Philips Lighting that I am responsible for day by day… love it;
