Update: We’ve added more IG accounts from the comments section. Thanks everyone!
Correction: An earlier version of this post stated @ottfoodie only reposts. We got that wrong. They post original photos too and appear at the top of our list below.
Here at Apartment613, we love to share local favourites and highlight the work of bloggers and photographers making Ottawa look good.
So, when Ottawa Business Journal came out with their 2018 Book of Lists, we raced to crack open a copy. Inside are OBJ’s top picks for local festivals, craft breweries, co-working spaces, family-owned businesses… Ottawa’s best accounting and law firms, advertising agencies, real estate brokers, fastest growing tech companies… but the list which hooked us is on page 18: Top Instagram accounts in Ottawa.
Photographer Landon Entwistle made the grade. Can’t argue with that! This Apt613 super contributor is a prolific shooter, also named to the Nikon 100 list of up-and-coming photographers in the world. His IG account @landonspics is followed by almost 20,000. With OBJ making only seven IG picks, it’s incredible to see Landon featured.
Where we take issue, however, is with the magazine’s two “foodie” picks. Both have high profile and an impressive number of followers—only @ottcityfoodies hasn’t posted since June 2017. Womp womp. Inactive for more than 12 months. That makes a rather questionable pick, doesn’t it?
We know of some pretty rad foodies using IG in Ottawa. Here our recommendations for folks to follow. If you know of more, please leave a comment below.
