#2 Nick Millers
If you are a photography enthusiast, Nick Miller’s Instagram account will fill you with inspiration. His neo-noir style brings a new, chilling, and mysterious view of New York City at dawn or night. However, even if NYC is his primary source of inspiration, he brings his style to other parts of the world. Among his highlighted stories we can find other American cities including Chicago or Japanese landmarks like Mount Fuji. He also shares his own inspirations that are taken from various movies and TV shows.
His posts encourage people to rediscover the city they live in. He pushes you to think that there is a dark and mystified, but also appealing and soothing, side of the city you haven’t seen yet.

#4 JuniperOats
JuniperOats is a digital art and minimal design account where simplicity and elegance meet. Judith, the mind behind this account, created it at first as an outlet for her creativity. Soon enough, seeing how people interacted with her content, she decided it would become “that little cozy nook in your life, that mini-retreat from the daily hustle and bustle.“
That’s not all, in addition to her amazing illustrations, she manages to create a perfect grid puzzle. Incredibly satisfying if you ask me. Don’t you worry, if you also want to step up your Instagram game, she has grid templates and a mini-course on how to integrate video to them.

#5 Anti_CGI
In a world where CGI has taken over much of the filmmaking industry, it is sometimes refreshing to go back to the basics and watch movies where simple methods of special effects – like makeup, costumes, animatronics, or traditional animation for example – are the next best thing. If you’re a fellow cinephile, or simply enjoy the pure essence of non-CGI movies, where you can almost taste the fakeness, then @anti_cgi is made for you. Each post carries one moment of the movie, its title, and the year of its release. Nothing more, nothing less, making you eager to know more and allowing you to discover new movies to add to your watchlist. Retro and crazy, anti_cgi is one of the 10 Instagram accounts to follow in 2021.

#8 Oddiostudio
Stefan Fraticelli is an Emmy nominated Foley Artist. If you don’t know what foley is, well you’re about to go to sleep a bit smarter today. Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to films, videos, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality. I know, I also thought every sound in the movies was recorded during the shooting but apparently, that’s impossible. So, in order to get the best sound quality for whatever audio you might need for the movie, foley artists like Stefan are used.
On his Instagram account, you will find numerous videos of how each sound is made. This Instagram account will surprise you.
