2. Rick Poon, @rick_poon

3. Ed Droste, @edroste
Ed Droste's night time gig is being the lead singer in Grizzly Bear -- pretty cool, huh? This means that his Instagram is filled with lots of goodies as he travels the world. But when he's home in LA his photos are particularly beautiful.
4. Matt Allard, @lifeserial
Matt may be an author and creative copywriter but his Instagram is so good it seems like it may be time to change mediums.
5. Jeremiah Gallagher, @jeremiahgallagher
Jeremiah takes all of his photos on his iPhone which just proves how far cameras on phones have come. Unreal.
6. Amy Merrick, @amy_merrick
Florist Amy Merrick recently moved from NYC to LA which is great because her photos will probably get more captivating as the warm weather seeps in. The only thing more beautiful than her ethereal photos are her stunning bouquets.
7. Slater Trout, @slatertrout
You may already know this cutie because he's dating Alec Baldwin's daughter, Ireland. However, Slater has a lot going on in his own world. The 6' 3" blondie is a competitive paddle boarder and moves between LA and Hawaii.
8. Nicole Elise, @nicoleelise03
Words aren't really needed to describe Nicole's lush, minimalist work -- it kind of speaks for itself. And it's awesome.

13. Jonpaul Douglass, @jonpauldouglass
Jonpaul's Instagram is great for three reasons: The first is that his photos of Los Angeles are amazing. The second is that he has an adorable pug named Stella who he features heavily. The third is that he's currently working on a project called "#pizzainthewild" where he takes photos of pizza -- SURPRISE! -- in the wild. It's kooky and weird and fantastic.
14. Kimberly Genevieve, @kimgenevieve
Kimberly is a photographer who merges "the California’s sun-kissed surfer aesthetic with chic urban fashion influences." She says that she "pulls inspiration from bright colors, everyday life, and the sunset strip."
