Top Photography Hashtags on Instagram
ContentScout sampled 66 public photography posts on Instagram this week. The average views across the sample are 585,237 with a median engagement rate of 2.75 percent. This is the first time this page has data, so there is no prior run to compare against yet.
ContentScout's own analysis: we sample real public posts matching photography search terms on Instagram and score them by how much engagement they're getting relative to how recently they were posted. Hashtags are ranked by the average views of the posts using them, not by how often they appear. The numbers describe those posts, they don't promise results.
