Black Creatives to Follow on Instagram

Black Creatives to Follow on Instagram - Studio 404 Blog

Can we talk about Instagram? Instagram is second to Twitter when it comes to my favorite social network. When I started using Instagram, I was very much excited about having a visual-based social network. I was excited to document my days in square images. As it’s grown, there are now so many different approaches to utilizing it. I’ve found myself becoming more and more selective on what I want to document and really enjoy curating my experience. I’m documenting my life + creative journey as well as my fitness journey. I’m also finding people who are creating inspiring work just through Instagram. Here are ten black creatives that I’m in awe of and hope you get to enjoy as well:

  1. Cannot wait to follow all of these beautiful people. Thanks so much for including me :)(Also, how you described the reasons to follow me COMPLETELY made my day!)

  2. They all have awesome content, truly. But Deunivory sure caught my eyes! Maybe because I’ve been into illustration and more “natural” photography lately. And Love Little Sampsons has the cutest family photos.
