A few years ago, talking to a professional photographer, we told her about the potential of Instagram and Facebook, and this innovative way of conceiving photography. She replied: “Instagram? Nice game”. But who knows what she will think now seeing that Instagram has earned a very important place in the field of professional photography, used by many professionals in the sector. Instagram is a powerful means of sharing information conveyed through images. Many bloggers, agencies, journalists and newspapers (the New York Times among the first) have opened an account on this media and for some it has already become a commercial opportunity.

Instagram has become so popular that recently some photo agencies around the world (Getty Image, Associated Press…) have also started offering galleries of photos taken with Instagram for sale.

The advantage is obvious: with its simplicity and the use of a very minimal physical medium (a smartphone) it makes it easy to work at live events, such as a fashion show, which are sometimes more complex with a more professional medium. In addition, the fact of shooting and sharing instantly gives a great benefit and a narration of the event in real time.
