It’s time to flip the focus on the men behind the posts. Preen talks to different Instagram husbands and boyfriends who work just as much as our favorite influencers to get that shot just right, with or without credit.
In our continuing series about Instagram husbands, you have met real professionals in Jericho Rosales, Thomas Caja, Joni Koro, and RG Gabunda. This time, meet Victor Consunji, another veteran in the business.
As husband to model, blogger, and beauty queen Maggie Wilson, Victor knows that it’s not just about making things look good inside the frame. It’s also what they represent in their day to day activities. He also understands that being an Instagram husband to a social media personality adds an interesting dynamic into today’s modern relationships.

“You didn’t come prepared for low light?”—said no Instagram husband ever.

Never. #wise
What do you think of the new Instagram logo and layout?
Hey, just so long as the logo isn’t yellow with a little white ghost on it, I’m good v#BecauseYouKnowImOldSchool

Afterlight, VSCO, good old-fashioned composition, and luck.
Favorite filter?

What kind of equipment do you use to make your life as an Instagram Husband better? (Ex. Tripod, DLSR, etc.)
I have a bunch of photo equipment, lenses, and a drone. My favorites are my iPhone, and GoPro. Small and light, and usually on my person. #LivingInTheIntagramMoment #LIvingLaVidaLoca
Seriously though, the BEST equipment an Instagram husband can have is a sense of humor. #WhySoSerious #TheCornierTheBetter #DadsDoItBest
