With the world and his wife now snapping pictures and uploading them to theirInstagram feeds, knowing exactly who to follow can be a tricky business. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of 13 movers and shakers whose feeds should be placed above all others. Because we’re nice like that, see?

We’re all closet fans of graffiti and street art (as long as it’s not on our cars, right guys?), so it follows that we’ll all love the dynamic virtual art gallery presented by this avid graffiti enthusiast.

Michael O’Neal is a San Francisco photographer and art director who travels to interesting locations seemingly daily, snapping stunning landscapes, intimate shots with pretty friends and quirky pictures of ladies dropping ice cream cones. Tough job, but somebody’s…

Looking at food porn is a bit like looking at real porn, without the ensuing sense of self-loathing and furtive attempts to delete your browser’s history. For top quality culinary smut, check out @share_food’s delectable selection of naughty but nice images. You can also tag your own photos with #sharefood and your own photo could be featured and viewed by over 61K followers.

OK, so one celebrity snuck on to this list…but if we’re going to have one, it may as well be Rihanna. With sexy selfies plus intimate shots of her wild child, million-dollar car-crash lifestyle, this is one guilty pleasure that we encourage you to indulge.

Continuing the theme of sexy ladies that girls want to be and men want to, well, you know… the stunning Lara Bingle shares photos of herself and other celeb friends to make us regular Joe’s and Josephine’s oh so deliciously jealous.

Keep the funnies rolling in with comedian Joe Mande’s often-hilarious stream of snaps from his daily life. Just remember to read the taglines, or they may just look a bit weird.

Upping sticks and travelling the country to meet and photograph a new person everyday sounds like the plot of a bad Adam Sandler movie (have there been any other types since Mr. Deeds?!). However, Theron Humphrey is actually being sponsored to go on this incredible pilgrimage and he’s even picked up a particularly cute dog along the way. Trust us on this one…

Yeah, Kevin Systrom made the list. Yeah, it may seem sycophantic to put Instagram’s founder on a must-follow list. Yeah, we’re envious of his jet-setting lifestyle and are secretly hoping that he may read this list and be really flattered and think that we’re pretty cool and invite us to his chalet to sip cocktails. And what?

Hip New Yorker Emily Johnston offers up still-life vignettes that are at once beautifully evocative and heartbreakingly sincere.

Publishing images of your girlfriend’s backside will usually leave you on the business end of a well-deserved slap, but Murad Osmann has created a worldwide buzz by showing his girlfriend Natalia Zakharova leading him to all sorts of gorgeous locations around the globe.

Whether you can nail a kickflip 360 to darkside grind or actually have trouble standing still on a skateboard, you’ll love Arto Saari’s awesome skating photos.

This pretty little thang shares daily photos of her everyday life snapped on her iPhone, which just so happen to be as impressive as many professional photographers’ entire body of work.

Simple, stark and brilliant are just three words that could be used to describe Scott Rankin’s photographs. Watch and learn from this talented young Canadian.
