With so much going on in the River City, it is hard to keep up with it all. Luckily, we have Instagram, the premier social media network, and the multitude of perspectives that come with documenting Richmond from every angle. We wanted to share a few of the personalities that we are following right now (your feed is only as good as who you follow) whether it is for their portraits, eye for scenery, sense of fashion, or a just different perspective on the place we all live — they are all good for the right reasons.

Local artist Todd Hale has continued to evolve but remained true to his exploration of media and the symbols around us. Using traditional painting techniques, modern technology and the power of the internet, he has created a fresh line of work with his lacquered coated canvases and cut up collage portraits. It’s worth taking a minute to scan his account and explore with him.

If we were to title this account, it could be ‘The Curiosity of Branden Wilson’. This young photographer has taken it upon himself to see what our current reality has to offer from our city’s music and events, appreciating his friends, the expansive scenery from around Virginia and his contributions to RVA Magazine.

Last, the food scene in the city has been on a steady upswing for years now and there is no limit to the accounts that talk about it. So much food, so little time really — so go to someone who can help you find what you are craving. Well done curation along with short reviews on the cuisine from all over town makes for a solid resource when you can’t decide on dinner tonight.
That’s it for now, even though there is a lot more out there — make sure to stay curious and follow your fellow Richmonders on Instagram and take the time to follow us at @RVAmag. Until next time, have a great Sunday afternoon.
