One of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of this industry is that there are many publications in it—and quite a few are difficult to top. But that drives some healthy competition, right? As an editor, there’s no feeling quite like seeing a fantastic thing—article, photo shoot, film, etc.—executed brilliantly by a rival. “Wow, this is really great…” is how our office chats often start. So who do we follow? These are some of the Instagram accounts that often stop us in our tracks and make us say, “Why didn’t we think of that?”
