Wrote the code for you in php:

$api = file_get_contents("https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/YOURTAG/media/recent?access_token=YOURACCESSTOKEN");
$json = json_decode($api,true);
foreach($json['data'] as $data){
  if($data['user']['username']=="YOURSPECIFICUSERNAME"){

  }
}

Answer 2

There is an opportunity how to do it:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/SEARCH_TAG/media/recent?client_id=CLIENT_ID&callback=MY_CALLBACK

SEARCH_TAG - input

CLIENT_ID - its your ID after registration

MY_CALLBACK - your callback function.

You will receive your response in Form of JSONP.

After it you can search your response with the parameters your want.

Your best bet is to do a lookup on a user and then sift through the results and get each picture with a certain tag

You could make a list of images with a certain tag and then a list of images with a certain username. You could then compare the two lists. I'd recommend python with Beautiful Soup.
