I bring to you 12 underrated photographers to follow on Instagram. I was too caught up traveling in the first month of 2016 to be able to put something concrete for you folks. And for that, I sincerely apologise.

But not one to leave you on the lurch, I scoured through the expanse of Instagram to bring you the work of photographers whose work I admire and find myself going back to for inspiration.

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, some inspiration for you right there. What do you think of them? Let me know through your comments, if there is someone I should be following for inspiration other than those on this list. I am always on the lookout for good photographers, so any help would be appreciated.
