Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPsmallshops

Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes and hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a post announcing the weekend’s project every Friday.

The goal this weekend is to capture creative photos and stories from local stores and independent shops. Some tips to get you started:

• Part of the attraction of small local stores is their architecture and decor. Does it have a particularly artistic sign out front? An old tiled entrance? Look for the small details you can capture, and remember it doesn’t hurt to ask for permission first before you start snapping.


• Every small business has a big story. Take some time to chat with the people behind the counter and share a portrait with their story.


• Finally, whether they’re locally sourced, one-of-a-kind or just beautifully arranged, don’t forget to peruse and share the stories behind the products themselves.

PROJECT RULES: Please add the #WHPsmallshops hashtag only to photos taken over this weekend and only submit your own photographs to the project. Any tagged image taken over the weekend is eligible to be featured Monday morning.
