A month ago, WPPI and Rangefinder teamed up with Animoto to feature WPPI members’ Instagram sizzle reels — short video slideshows — on their page. Since then, they’ve featured six amazing photographers, all of whom have created distinctive videos that match their photography beautifully. We wanted to share their work on our site and show how photographers are marketing with video on Instagram.

Wedding photographer Susan Stripling creates a magical atmosphere in her video slideshow with a gentle instrumental coupled with soft, romantic photography.

Peter Hurley is a headshot photographer in New York City, and his photography slideshow is fast-paced and full of energy, just like the city he works in.
