Instagram is useful for a number of things, from keeping in touch with your friends to documenting your last vacation.
But there are also a number of people who have gained fame by way of the social media platform.
These 27 star Instagrammers made a name for themselves by posting their photos, and look damn good doing it.

Nafarrete isn't the star of his Instagram photos, but when he does appear in one it's usually with someone kind of famous (like Annalynne McCord from "Nip/Tuck").
The digital ad professional has collaborated with brands like Audi USA, Nike, Sheraton, and T-Mobile for their own Instagram photo campaigns, but in his spare time runs the group Instagram LA, which organizes "Instawalks" and networking opportunities for brands and Instagram users.

The 6'2" Southern California native was on a fast track to becoming a professional basketball player or physical therapist when a photographer discovered him on Facebook. Shortly after, Hunter modeled for his first shoot and posted the photos on social media. The overwhelming response from friends convinced him to make the career change.
Today, he's represented by the industry elite Wilhelmina Models, and posts steamy samples from his portfolio on Instagram.
