Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of your favorite Instagram accounts? Well, meet the secret weapon of so many Instagrammers: the Instagram Husband.

“Behind every cute girl on Instagram is a guy like me, and a brick wall.” These guys are the human selfie-sticks that power the food photography, whimsical wide shots and lifestyle photo essays on the platform. Truth be told, I am not one of them, but I’d always wondered: who the hell is taking all of these shots?

“We used to eat our food.”
“It helps me out if I’m the first one to comment.”
“We have to show everyone how much we enjoy our lives together.”
