Murad Osmann's instagram feed

A clever idea, the photographer's keen eye, expert use of photoshop, or a subtle marketing trick to gain recognition ? Whichever way you view it, make sure you check out Murad Osmann's instagram feed to watch him snapping mementos while following his girlfriend through various sites (known or not) around the globe. The Russian-born photographer who now calls the UK home clearly has a penchant for HDR imagery, but  the dreamlike quality is used well here as the viewer falls into the jet-setting fantasy that is Osmann's reality.

Murad Osmann, a professional photographer and executive producer for the film company Hype Productions, began sharing images of his gorgeous girlfriend leading him around the world in October 2011. The photos capture Osmann's perspective perfectly: you see the backside of his attractive girlfriend, her hand clutching his, as they roam from Barcelona to Moscow to Hong Kong and beyond. He uses the #FollowMeTo hashtag to identify the images in this series, though his feed has plenty of other landscape and architectural shots worth seeing. Though Osmann started the series using his iPhone, he's now shooting with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and a Fujifilm X-Pro1. He uses Photoshop and the plug-in LucisArt to manipulate his images.
