Or maybe you just feel like you’re lacking creative energy and need something to inspire you and give you some new fresh ideas for your next Instagram shots.
I believe you know what I’m talking about, as we’ve definitely experienced all of it when planning our next photos for our IG feed @the.travelleaf.

I feel like creativity is simply exploding through her Instagram feed.
Her photos from different destinations are so artistic that it almost always feels like she’s somewhere in a different reality or a fairytale forest.
She uses mystical colors and comes up with surprisingly unique poses.

I like this Auretas account because she always finds a way how to show any simplest thing as an artwork.
The content she makes is kinda hard to comprehend and you just want to go – wtf!!! what’s that?!..but at the same time you don’t even realize how it sucks you in and you keep scrolling and scrolling and admiring these photos.
It’s a really captivating content. And I think the biggest inspiration you can take from Aureta is how to create any kind of vibe you want in any place.
If she wants it to feel like Paris, it will feel like Paris in the photo. Even if she’s actually not in Paris herself.

I really like Sorelle’s account because she’s brutally honest… In her poses, her body, her message…
She portrays emotions and gracious poses so well!
And the exciting part is that she doesn’t hold back but also doesn’t take it too far. If you scroll through her feed you’ll totally know what I mean.
And her message seems to be all about how to love yourself and your body. And also how to be comfortable with yourself.
Coz if you’re not … it would be pretty damn hard to create photos like these.
And did you know she shoots everything herself with a tripod? How crazy cool is that?!

Hello, queen of awesome poses!
If you love a combination of travel & fashion, you most probably have heard of Tezza already.
Tessa is the biggest inspiration for us on how to express your personality in photos and how to come up with creative poses.
And also – how to always dress in style. If you want to look like you’re straight out of a fashion magazine, Tezza is the perfect person where to turn for inspiration.

This account is something different from the previous ones.
It’s a share-account that features different Bangkok photos on their feed made by different creators.
Being a Thailand content creator ourselves since we spent almost two years traveling across the country, I just couldn’t leave you without any Thailand inspiration.
@wheninbangkok takes you on a tour around the coolest spots of Bangkok. What you’ll notice is that all of these photos are shot in super creative angles.
So the main inspiration here is how to find unique shots in random places like metro stations or bridges. Go way beyond the classic temples and skyline bars and don’t be afraid to discover different Bangkok.
This account is inspirational not just for those who are going to Bangkok soon, but also those who like to take photos in cities and urban style shots.

I feel like it’s almost a rule – you’ll never have a bad or boring photo if you’ll capture a perfect symmetry.
And @symmetryhunters is an excellent inspiration on how to frame photos to perfection.
This is definitely one of the must-follow travel Instagram accounts if you enjoy taking photos of destinations without any people in them. We’ve seen so many cool examples here how to find unusual angles for shots.

This one is an awesome inspiration account for those who are into drone photography.
@Spathumpa proves that a drone photo is something way more than flying and shooting random landscapes from above. Yeah, it’s beautiful, but also something we see all the time.
But when you manage to sneak in elements of symmetry and small details, that’s when you’ll totally stand out from the rest.

This is another Thai account.
I actually started to follow her on Instagram because I kept seeing very interesting places in Thailand in her photos. I hadn’t heard about many of them at all.
And as you can imagine, it doesn’t happen a lot since we know the country pretty well after 2 years here.
Her photos have a very cute vibe and the polaroid effect actually gives me a feeling that I’ve just come home from a trip and now I’m browsing through my own photos.
She creates a feeling of harmony and keeps me wanting to keep scrolling.

@100gramsofsun is one of the very first creative travel accounts we started to follow on IG quite a while ago.
The main thing to learn from her is how to create a perfect composition.
Most of the photos on her feed feel so natural, almost like she just took them and posted without even having to edit them. And it works!
@momimfine

This guy travels around the world and keeps a sign “Mom I’m fine” up in every shot.
I think it’s a very cool idea of how to collect your travels in an interesting way.
For example, you can keep a sign up in each photo with a name or number of a country. Or you can even share your brand logo or your message that way.
And it doesn’t even have to be a piece of paper you’re holding. You can be wearing a shirt with your logo.
This guy even had “momI’mfine” printed on a plane!!!
Oh, and this is also a very smart way how to set yourself free from posing if you don’t feel comfortable doing that. You can just keep your message up and the problem “what to do with your hands” is solved.

This is actually my (Anete’s) personal favorite share account because it really manages to feature the emotions and feelings expressed through body language.
It inspires how you don’t always have to have a perfectly striking pose – instead, you can play around, smile, make faces and be yourself and let the timer catch the perfect shot. Or your photographer, if you have one.
@Fashionsummerweek is also a major inspiration on how to portray places though different small elements. And how it’s not always necessary to have the whole object or the whole place in the shot to set the right vibe.

This is quite a similar account to the previous @Fashionsummerweek.
It’s also a share account that features vibey shots.
We included this one too, as in FSW the photo style is more laid back and chill while here the photos are more towards the artistic side.

Chelsea’s account is a perfect follow-fit for those who love nature, mountains or ocean adventures. I’m totally one of those people too.
I love how she always manages to make me feel like I’m there with them experiencing this moment almost like through my own eyes and my own emotions.
It’s a really powerful thing to be able to make your audience feel like that.
Oh, and she’s also a master of posing underwater. It’s that one place where it’s so difficult to actually look good. It takes a lot of practice.
@noel.alva
Here you can get inspired on how to express emotions and vibes without even showing your face.
The story is there and you can feel it, even when you don’t see the facial expression.
And I think this is a great example, how not to limit yourself to the classic shots from the back. The ones when you’re standing in a flowy dress with your back to the camera and looking at some object.
He takes the back photo game to another level.

Why do we like Tara? She has the right inspo account for those who love to create curly and cute girly shots.
Tara’s account is all about details.
And a really cool example of how to plan your IG feed.
If you scroll through her feed, you’ll see how the colors are always matching.
It’s really captivating and makes you wanna keep scrolling more to admire how she manages to portray each destination and each situation through a certain color.
