THE TOP 25 PHOTOGRAPHY HASHTAGS ON INSTAGRAM IN 2025

Before you start using some of the below top 25 most popular photography hashtags on Instagram in 2025, let me tell you something you have probably been turning a blind eye to…

Instagram is not helping your business

• On average and across all industries, posts on Instagram reach only 5% of followers (If you are lucky!) This is a massive issue affecting thousands of marketers in different industries. 
• You keep trying hard to build an audience on Instagram that you do not own.
• You cannot transfer your hard-earned Instagram followers to your best CRM software.
• Your customer acquisition costs from Instagram ads are through the roof.

The solution

I can offer you the best digital marketing strategy workshops that will help you:

• Lower customer acquisition costs.
• Minimise dependency on paid media.
• Build a marketing engine with marketing assets and channels you fully own.
• Craft the best digital marketing plan and social media strategy that boosts sales and customer lifetime value.

Before you start using some of the below most popular photography hashtags on Instagram, you may want to also use some niche, unique photography hashtags that will connect you to your exact audience.

For example, if you provide photography services for companies in New York, you may also want to use “photography” “NYC” related hashtags.

Publishing popular photography hashtags will surely bring you likes to your Instagram content, it may not be enough to reach your desired audience.

• Allan Tannenbaum (American photographer) popular for his “New York in the 70’s” collection.
• Brassaï (Hungarian-French photographer)
• Cecil Beaton (British photographer)
• David Croland (American photographer and illustrator)
• Diane Arbus (American photographer)

CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION IS KEY

If you want to have – let’s say – 30 great exclusive clients per week, then you do not necessarily need thousands of “likes” and “followers” on Instagram.

You may decide to reach – let’s say – mums with babies between 30-40 years old who are looking for baby photography in San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury area. That’s quite a niche and that could be enough business for you. Then you will use far better hashtags as you know the exact people you want to reach.

✪ Expert tip: Add popular photography hashtags to your Instagram posts and stories to increase your chances of being displayed on the Instagram Explore page using the hashtag sticker (you can only add one hashtag) or use the text tool (you can add up to 10 hashtags), you can even hide them by placing a sticker on top of them or use the colour tool to make the hashtags invisible but still findable” Mau
