Instagram is the hottest social media tool of the moment. It gives users more power to see what they want to see than Facebook, is more visual fun than Twitter and more interactive than Pinterest. Location tags and hashtags let Instagrammers find all sorts of content. It is a great way for photographers to accelerate their business and to share their work with the world. Boston is home to countless photographers, but a few are seriously killing it on Instagram. Check out these five to see the best of Boston: cityscapes, nature, food, culture and more!
