Instagram is one of the most popular social networks, with a monthly audience of 1 billion active users. These numbers are awe-inspiring and give photographers the hope and opportunity to become famous without spending too much money and effort on promotion. 

But how to make your work notice among the endless stream of published photos? Everything is quite simple. Thanks to Instagram, you get several effective ways to promote your account. For example, you can do collaborations, set up paid advertising, set up geolocation, and, of course, write hashtags.  

Although some people think that hashtags look messy and outdated, professionals know the real power of this tool. To be successful, try to learn a few rules and keep the hashtags for photographers handy.

How to use Instagram hashtags? 

To achieve results, carefully plan and think through hashtags, from their number to the frequency of publications. At the planning stage, find similar accounts and see what hashtags they use. 

More recently, Instagram introduced a new feature with which you can subscribe to hashtags and thus track your competitors. You can also use special tools to search for hashtags (for example, Instagram search or the Displaypurposes service).  

Remember to periodically combine and change hashtags so that different people see your photos, and your audience reach is continually growing.

Here's a list of popular hashtags for photographers:
