1. @vitormarigo
One of the most productive photographers in Rio de Janeiro. He posts photos from other places as well, but the majority of his content is focused on Rio. He is a big fan of line walking, so there is quite some photos of that on his profile, but he is pretty creative in finding different angels and exploring the city. A must to follow when visiting Rio.

2. @ighelal
This photographer takes all his photos with a mobile. And he edits only with apps, so his whole work flow, from start to finish, is on his mobile. Pretty impressive photos, but there is quite a lot of photo shoots of random people on his profile as well. But if you like Rio, and see what great pictures you can take when just using your mobile, this is your guy.

3. @ulysses_padilha
A great photographer with lots of artistic angles and beautiful landscape pictures. A nice profile to follow to get some ideas of what photos you would like to take when in Rio de Janeiro.

4. @douglas.r.j
He is a guide and a nature lover, so those are the pictures you can expect on this profile. Lots of nice angles from the most popular places in Rio, but also from spots that are not that common, even for locals. Someone who knows the city well and can show you the way to take some awesome pictures.

5. @rafemoura
Some great pictures out in the nature that surrounds Rio de Janeiro. You won’t find a lot of the traditional highlights of Rio, but instead lots of hikes, waterfalls and other natural highlights that are a huge part as well of the Marvelous City.

6. @leoneumamm
If you are into drone photography, this is your profile. Lots of great aerial photos of, mainly, the touristic South Zone of the city. The neighborhoods near the beach and the Christ Statue. Lots of inspiration. And most descriptions -also- in English.

7. @diegotovar
One of the local favorites, a photographer with a creative eye. When speaking about his angles as well as his editing. When you are a photographer, it’s interesting to see how he creates his personal brand and style. If you have seen his profile, for sure you will recognize any future picture of him that passes your timeline.

8. @diogo.marquess
This profile has something of everything, most of it is Rio, but also some photo shoots, some other travel photos, some creative art approach. So this profile you have to look a bit more careful of what you would like to see, but for sure you will get some inspiration since this photographer has a lot of quality. You will find something you like.

9. @arthursarandy
Just a little extra. Follow this profile and most of the photos will have one of the famous highlights of Rio as a subject. But well, Rio is beautiful as f***, and once in a while you get this pleasant surprise that will make you want to leave Rio with exactly that picture!
