Top Instagram Account to Follow in India @siddharthajoshi

My Instagram account header!

 I have been on Instagram for a while now and have received much love there, not just from India but from other parts of the world as well. I have posted pictures from my travels from all across the world, but its the pictures from India which have been appreciated the most.

I must confess that I am not exactly a photographer, but a photo experimenter. I love trying out new devices, new media, new editing apps and new ways of using images to connect with the world. Images speak to me and so I also love appreciating the work of others - to me images are a window in to another person's deepest existence.

I have been appreciated through many awards by communities within Instagram, but recently I came across these two news portals which have included my names in the list of Instagram accounts to follow from India. I must confess this was quite flattering :)

If we are not yet friends there, let's connect on Instagram as well. My account is @siddharthajoshi.

The Laurels...

While we are on the subject of Mobile Photography, let me also share a few mentions for my work on Instagram.

Huffingtonpost

Huffingtonpost post has included me as '18 Stunning India-Based Instagram Feeds You Should Be Following'.  Some rather nice words from them :) 

'This wandering photographer is another strong portraitist, whose subjects range from kids at play to the army men patrolling India's northern borders.'

Youth ki Awaaz

Youth ki Awaaz describes itself 'India's largest online community media platform for young people to express themselves on issues of importance'

They have included me in their list of '10 Incredible Indian Photographers You Should Follow On Instagram Right Now' and this is what they have to say about my work:

'He is perhaps one of the best portrait photographers and could have been our Humans of New York guy per se. His USP: he has plenty of candid snapshots that make it all the more pleasant. He focuses on kids and usually, solely on the face with highly well defined features drawing the viewer’s attention to every detail and allowing one to weave a tale. He quite ingeniously captures many different moods.'

Art Radar

The third mention comes from Art Radar which describes itself as the only editorially independent online news source writing about contemporary art across Asia.

They have included me in their list of 'Indian photography via Instagram: 8 accounts to follow now' and they are also extremely generous with their praise:

'When we think of photographing India, we think of a riot of colours. These colours populate photographer Siddhartha Joshi’s Instagram feed, which takes us to temples, forts, beaches, and small towns, and shows us how there’s a story in every nook of the country. Joshi’s images are clean and fuss-free, and almost startling in their brightness.'

Home Grown

The final mention comes from Home Grown. They have included me in 12 More Indian Photographers You Should Follow On Instagram.

'Pune-based photographer, Siddhartha Joshi, travels a lot and collects fascinating snippets while he’s at it, which he shares on his Instagram feed. Portraits take the limelight here, with each person’s stories lending us an incredible amount of insight. HG loves: The 365-day project he’s embarked upon called #TellMeYourDream2015 as a part of which he interacts with people from all walks of life and depicts their dreams with photograph and words, without ever oversimplifying it or making it too literal.'

If you are on Instagram, please check out all the other profiles in these lists. I think they are all fantastic. Also, I must confess that it's love like this which inspires me to do even better and to excel...

Friends I made while instagramming on the streets :)
