Dirk Dallas is an instagrammer (over 169k followers!!) based in Southern California. He's a self-acclaimed "light chaser.educator.christ follower." 

Dirk blows me away with his composition, intense colors, and use of perfect golden lighting. Each picture he takes/shares makes me want to get out there and do the same, and that in an image is prime!

You can check him on twitter or tumblr! Or even contact him dirkdallas@gmail.com

Jared Chambers is a photographer from Los Angeles, CA.

Jared's photos encompass this dreamy quality that make it hard to look away. They're more than photos but even stories, something that makes me imagine what could possibly be going on when the camera isn't around. He's compositionally ridiculous and as far as color tones in images go, he's flawless. 

You can contact him here or check out his tumblr!

Adam Joel Smith is an iphone-only photographer who focuses on his children. His instagram deems "an amateur attempt at a rousing round of Picture Pages. I photograph my kids a lot because they're basically the extent of my friend base. iPhone only."

I love the dramatics behind the photos of his kids. To me, each one makes such a profound statement of these moments in the kids lives that we might have all once had ourselves. Sitting on the stairs, that one image reminded me so much of being a kid listening to my parents talk at night. I loved Adam's staircase image and the viewpoint in which he took it so much that it inspired me to take this one! 

Check out this article on him by the Poopsie Collective!

Darren Erbe is a twenty-three-year old iPhone-only photographer based in New Jersey. He advocates the hashtags #chasingfog and his own polaroid-based #roidagram and he even has a whole separate black&white instagram! 

I love the moods that Darren is able to capture, as if the tones in the air swing his way whenever he takes a shot! I love the way he photographs fog the most, it makes me see such beauty in something I used to consider to be so dismal.
