It’s official. Instagram has – as far as the MR PORTER team is concerned – become completely oversaturated with photos of brunch, #travelgrams and old school friends’ children. Gone are the days where you can scroll through your feed without being accosted by #avocadotoast – and don’t even get us started on the puppies.
Every now and then, however, we manage to stumble across a hidden gem. A diamond in the rough, if you will, whose photography is a cut above the rest. So, to save you from another painfully uninspiring scroll, we thought it was about time to share some of our favourite feeds. We’ll be revealing some of Instagram’s greatest, with profiles showcasing everything from beautiful architecture and awe-inspiring nature to tastemakers documenting exciting new places and fantastic restaurants. Who does MR PORTER follow on Instagram? Scroll down to find out…

The best places to take photos in Porto, says Mr Oliveira, are in Foz do Douro, Porto downtown, Ribeira do Porto and his favourite beach. (This is at an undisclosed location near Porto. Even Instagrammers like to keep some things private.)
