Freelance photographer Harimao’s Instagram is best for travel inspiration. In fact, you’ll start noting down your travel wish list immediately after viewing his photos. His silhouettes have also inspired us to turn our back to the camera and let the lens do the work.

Like a moth to a flame, we just adore images full of bright colour, and that’s where Samuel’s Instagram comes in. This young photographer and filmmaker captures light like no other, and what would normally be a plain static image is brought to life because of it.

Justin Lim’s style of photography is very fine-art-meets-documentary. But what we love the most are his striking portraits and his ability to capture emotion within the shot. Intimate and almost always sultry, the photographs feel a little Wong Kar-wai-esque to us.

You may recognise some of Victor’s shots from another well-known Instagram account –his fiancée’s Samishome— who often features in his shots. What you’ll find here is a colourful grid of pastel-hues that feel like they belong in a Wes Anderson film. And with many of them taken in Hong Kong, it really does make you fall in love with our city every time he posts.

Vivian’s shots look like they’re straight out of a glossy magazine, so it’s no wonder brands such as Audemars Piguet and American Express have worked with her. A background in architecture lends a distinct urban style in which clean lines and building patterns are heavily featured, but it’s when she uses them as her backdrop in portraits that it is most impressive.

As the winner of a National Geographic photography award, Kelvin’s images are the unbelievable kind of scenic snapshots that tell the story of our natural world. Think misty mountain tops, cascading waterfalls, northern lights and more that inspire us endlessly. So much so that we’re inclined to save a few as our desktop wallpapers.
