Wanderlust: Five Photographers to Follow on Instagram

Five G&G contributing photographers whose photos will leave you eager to hit the road

Around the G&G office, we’re all a little envious of our photographers. When they’re not on assignment for us, photographing everything from juke joints in the Mississippi Delta to Texas quail fields to Mardi Gras parade routes in New Orleans, they’re globe-trotting on other jobs, heading to India, Italy, Armenia, Tanzania, Scotland, Mexico, the Caribbean, and beyond.

The Instagram accounts of these five G&G contributing photographers will tempt you daily to clear your schedule and pack your bags.

Washington, D.C.

With sunny snaps from tree-lined historic streets in Norfolk, Virginia to the Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, India, this food, travel, and lifestyle photographer’s feed provides a bright spot on any day.


Tyler Sharp | @tylersharpphoto
Grape Vine, Texas

This account curated by the Texas-based writer, photographer, and creative director is laden with lush sporting life shots—like quail hunting in Texas and fly-fishing in Paradise Valley, Montana.


William Hereford | @williamhereford
New York, New York

On-location photos from exotic destinations—Patagonia, Aruba, Paris—pepper the sleek fashion photography on this Virginia-raised photographer’s account.


Kathryn McCrary | @kathrynmccrary
Atlanta, Georgia

From fresh blueberries at a Rosemary Beach, Florida, farmers’ market to coffee and almond scones at Atlanta’s Bread & Butterfly, McCrary’s imagery feeds the food-loving traveler’s soul.


Rush Jagoe | @rushjagoe
New Orleans, Louisiana

Scenes from New Orleans and the bayous of South Louisiana regularly fill this Kentucky-born lensman’s feed. But he also frequently travels far beyond his adopted hometown—British Columbia, California, and Colorado were three recent stops.
