@maddiegreer
This recent transplant from Nashville has quite the eye for space and composition, endowing her feed a photographic fairytale quality. We can’t wait to watch her spin her visual magic over Portland.

Thomas Guy mixes majestic natural images with street shots that give his followers a well-rounded feel for Portland. His soft spot for pristine old cars is especially endearing. No matter his mode of transportation, he always takes us along for the ride.
@kimhaggstrom
Kimhaggstrom, an “iPhone only user,” manages to capture those fleeting moments of time the rest of us only remember to photograph after it is too late. We especially love her whimsical images of creeping fog.
@brooke_weeber
This Portland-based illustrator leads the outdoorsy lifestyle that we all probably aspire to. Follow her and you'll find plenty of inspiration for your next big camping adventure.

@aspensummit
Adventures both urban and rural populate this diverse, well-composed feed. Her simple, quiet still lives will make you want to hit the nearest farmers market and have a picnic in any weather.
@samuelelkins
The second newly established Portland resident on this list, professional photographer Sam Elkins seduces his followers with breathtaking landscapes and equally stunning portraiture. More wedding photos on rocks in the middle of rivers, please!
@ianandrewnelson
Talk about fall foliage! Although he's based in Portland, Ian packs plenty of shots from afar into his feed—but we’re not complaining. When he does post an Oregon shot, it reminds us all how lucky we are to live here.
@roydufek
Self-proclaimed “Landscape Ninja,” Roy brings new meaning to “Starry Night”—his long-exposure shots at nighttime create a surreal sky saturated with stars. He always manages to capture exactly the most dramatic viewpoint for his shots.
10 day forecast says RAIN for the PNW, it's officially the season...of great light all day long! 😉☁☔

Grace clearly knows her way around a color palette, and she's mastered the sense of place—her sharp angles and fresh perspectives give new insight to our beloved city.

Fashion meets local pride in Domnika's photos, where she pairs stylish duds with equally stylish locations around town. Think Gucci x latte art.
