Have you ever wondered who the people are behind some of Instagram's biggest profiles? With the way it's setup, you see their work first but you don't get to know too much about who they are. Some of the users on Instagram have tremendous followings. What drives them to shoot and who are they? Here are some great interviews about them and their work.

So the key ingredient to become a famous instagram photographer is to move to new york!
True that

Some of my favorite instagrams accounts are those of people in Pakistan. My favorites are these two guys. http://statigr.am/viewer.php#/user/244983734/

lol hahahahahaaa
so the video production team didn't have to walk far to shoot these IG celebs then huh!
i'm on IG and I have nearly 1000 followers built up over nearly two years. Some of the most popular IGers are the ones that followed tens of thousands of people right from the start, that'll rack up your followers overnight, 90% spam, then just ditch 99% of them after a few weeks, they don't realise it and you look like you're super popular, then post the usual every day IG magic and you'll tick along nicely. Especially if you live in New York. I know i've got a lot of 'follow me back' followers but I hope that a large portion of people follow me because they like my images, otherwise what's the point ?
Yeah, thanks again Fstoppers. It is a pleasure.
lol well said iso
