The Mandatory Instagram account (@mandatorydotcom) is used primarily to post funny photos you may have missed and hot models you don't want to miss. And we're just fine with that. Fortunately, there are a bunch of artists and creative pioneers of the social media outlet that go above and beyond posting cell phone pics and adding a filter, and actually make Instagram magic that is truly special. Here are 15 very creative Instagram accounts that you should follow ... after you follow us, of course.
