One Awesome Photographer to Follow on Instagram.



I owe a lot to Instagram because it got me into taking photos again. I first downloaded it on my iPod Touch and discovered it was a great way to show people what I'm passionate about - photography. I’m a firm believer in the idea that great photos don't just come from having awesome equipment. And if you take some time to explore past all the cute animal photos (not that there’s anything wrong with that), gratuitous food porn, and annoying #selfies (you know who you are), you’ll find that the platform’s a goldmine for some solid visual inspiration.

Below is one Instagram user that consistently puts out some amazing stuff. In one way or another, the photos he uploads never fail to make me wonder why I'm still scrolling down my feed instead of dropping everything to head outside and shoot! If you're a photographer looking for some fresh inspiration, or if you just like awesome photos in general, this guy is worth the follow.


 Timothy McGurr (aka 13th Witness) - @13thwitness

I've been a huge fan of his work for so long, the day I got Instagram  (I was pretty late to the party), he was one of the first people I sought out to find. Aside from the crazy symmetry in most of his photos, his eye for amazing shots in settings that most people would deem commonplace is on another level. Could it be the artistic genes? Futura is his dad, after all.



A quick browse of his Instagram page will show you a litany of urban scenes captured with equal amounts of beauty and grit. There's snippets of projects here and there, but it's mostly shots taken while he's out traveling the world. It's hard not to be jealous of a setup like that.

To check out his work in more detail, you can check out his website as well as his Vimeo page!
