Instagram Hashtags for Documentary Photography & Photojournalism

Since I started doing photography, I’ve been really into documentary photography and photojournalism. I also wrote about cameras used by award-winning photojournalist & press photographers.

If you are unsure about how to use Instagram hashtags the right way, read this guide to using hashtags.

Most popular Instagram hashtags for documentary

#documentary #documentaryphotography #documentaryphotographer #documentaryphoto #documentaryfilm #documentaryweddingphotography #documentaryweddingphotographer #documentaryfamilyphotography #documentaryfilms #documentarywedding #documentarynow #documentaryfamilyphotographer #documentaryphotograhy #DocumentaryFilmmaking #documentaryphotos #documentarystyle #documentaryfilmmaker #documentaryphotograpy #documentaryweddings #documentaryproject #documentaryphotograph #documentaryshort #documentary2 #documentaryfilming #documentarywork #documentarypaintings #documentaryseries #documentarydirector #documentaryfamily #documentarylover

While these hashtags for documentary and photojournalism might increase your engagement on Instagram, it won’t give you a crazy amount of new Instagram followers unless you actually post really great content.

Most popular Instagram hashtags for photojournalism

#photojournalism #photojournalist #journalism #journalist #journalists #photojournalists

Most popular Instagram hashtags for press photography

#pressphotography #pressphotographer #pressphoto #pressphotos #pressaward #presswards #worldpress #worldpressphoto

I hope you can use these Instagram hashtags and I wish you all best in your journey to dominate Instagram 🙂
Remember you can use Instagram hashtags for ordinary posts, Instagram stories and IGTV of course.

As a documentary or press photographer, whether you do video or photos on Instagram, it’s going to be very competitive. In my Photographer’s Guide to Social Media & Marketing, I show you how to stand out online, as a photographer.

And this guide is especially relevant for photographers doing journalism or documentary since that kind of photo and video projects can have great potential. If you want a sneak-peak on what’s in the marketing-guide, read this post about how to reach journalists and get your photo or video project covered by the media.
