It’s no secret that using the right Instagram portrait hashtags is one of the keys to success for many photography and travel influencers.
A myriad of content creators in photography and travel niche has become influencers who travel while making money on Instagram with the help of selecting Instagram portrait hashtags.
Picking the right Instagram portrait hashtags can do many wonders for your content. It allows Instagram to feature your photography to people who are not following you, thus increasing the opportunities to increase your Instagram followers and engagement.
Who knew that photography and travel influencers are traveling the world through brand sponsorships on Instagram, by merely choosing relevant portrait hashtags.
How Hashtags work on Instagram
Including portrait hashtags on your photography posts is one of the best strategies to beat the Instagram algorithm.
As some of you know, Instagram users are experiencing a decrease in organic reach and engagement because of the recent algorithm changes. We no longer see content based on the chronological order of the post. Instead, Instagram picks which content we see first based on what is most relevant to us.
The algorithm changes could mean that your photography may not even reach your followers.
