24 Inspiring Minimalist Instagram Accounts You Should Follow

Ver página en: Español

One of the most challenging aspects of curating your own Instagram gallery is to achieve a consistently clean look (at least for me). So I often find myself checking other people’s feed to get some inspiration and to see how people with different styles make it all work. And I am especially fascinated by minimalist Instagram accounts. I love how some of these Instagrammers manage to convey a lot of meaning with just a few elements in their photos.

So I’ve prepared a list with some of my favorite minimalist Instagram accounts. There is a little bit of everything, from travel to architecture, to lifestyle and food. And I hope you find some inspiration on their galleries as well!

@albertgf

Based in Spain, Alberto Garcia’s gallery features mostly architecture shots mixed with some more personal images. He seems to favour white and pastel tones.

@andrewkuttler

Graphic designer Andrew Kuttler has a playful style. His gallery is full of fun and creative images in vibrant colours and with a touch of humour.

@aurelycerise

Aurely Cerise is an image creator based in Paris. When she discovered Instagram, she found a creative outlet that changed her life for the better. And we are so glad she did! Her images are pure eye candy.

@carleyscamera

Travel photographer Carley Rudd is passionate about travel and the outdoors and that is clearly reflected on her photos. She uses mostly a pastel colour palette which gives her images a soothing dreamy quality.
