You know Instagram, this hip social network for mobile photography? Yes, you probably have heard about it, as it revolutionized the world of photography and was instrumental in the promotion of the iPhone (and later Android) as a more than capable camera. I’ve featured twice already 20 mobile photographers with impressive galleries, in December 2011 and later in April 2012. But since Instagram has over 100 million registered users, one can hardly be satisfied with featuring only 20 people. So for your pleasure, inspiration and discovery, here are 10 more very talented photographers who produce exquisite photos, equipped only with their smartphone:
