Murad Osmann (@muradosmann on Instagram) is a Russian photographer and film producer (Hype Production) who has seen his personal photo series [HASHTAG]#followmeto[/HASHTAG] on Instagram explode online in recent days. First it made the front page of Reddit, eventually spreading outwards to the likes of Mashable and other publications.

The story goes that Osmann’s girlfriend, Nataly Zakharova (@yourleo on Instagram), was getting tired of him always being preoccupied with his camera, literally resorting to dragging him by the hand to keep moving. This lead to the perspective we see in each shot of the series.

While many may find the photos a little ‘too’ over-processed, the concept is playful and a creative way to capture different places around the world. For the latest, follow Murad on Instagram @muradosmann

Guy Who Follows His Girlfriend Around The World Goes To India

The famous Russian photographer who was following his girlfriend around the worldhas gone to India and taken [HASHTAG]#followmeto[/HASHTAG] to the next level. This time Osmann’s now fiancée Natalia Zakharova is dressed in stunning Indianized costumes and posed in front of historic locations in Delhi, Udaipur, Varanasi, Jaipur, and more.

“During our first trip, Murad was keen on taking photos and nothing else grasped his attention. At one time I wanted to show him the old town part , grabbed his arm and dragged him forward and, as you can understand, it didn’t stop him from taking a picture even then,” writes Zakharova on Facebook. The couple is now engaged to be married.
