Meet the Suggested Instagrammers of Egypt: @daniahany_
Instagram is the only social network that has managed to create its own true community. The people behind Instagram were smart enough to encourage Instagrammers to challenge each other visually, resulting in Instagram’s eminent growth in a relatively short time.
With their weekend hashtag projects, featured users, suggested users and Instameets, they’ve ensured massive user engagement and lots of alluring shots.
I talked to the 11 Egyptian Instagrammers who have been specially featured and suggested by the official Instagram account to unravel the secrets of their photo successes.
We’ll be featuring them all this week, stay tuned!
Dania Hany (@daniahany_)
Dania, 19 years old, is a Mass Communication student who tells stories through imagery.
“I like to caption my photographs with stories of people on the road and information about the places that I visit. I think that’s what made me different form other travel and landscape photographers,” she told us.
Dania uses her iPhone camera as well as a Canon 600D to shoot her captivating images.
She never thought she would be suggested. “I was actually whining a few days before I became a suggested user that my followers wouldn’t reach 1,700 and now they’re at 98k!”
She was recently tapped to contribute to online magazines and travel websites. “As cheesy as this may sound, I wouldn’t have been who I am right now if it wasn’t for Instagram. I got to meet so many great people through it and I got a wider perspective about photography and arts in general,” she explained.
“Instagram offers this awesome platform for travelers, adventurers and artists in almost all fields. I believe it’s the only social network that you can benefit from and can actually change lives.”
Dania thinks @nourabdelhamidy, @fadyhesham0, @this.is.muhammed, @davidhabchy, @amjadaggag and @shewifa deserve to be suggested as well.
WE SAID THIS: Don’t miss the other featured Instagrammers: @ahmad_abi, @ahmed_saeed and @ddinaali
