Seeing the World through a Lens: Photographer of the week (1)

Murad Osmann

Since we are doing our group project on Murad I thought it would make sense to also do a blog post on him. Murad is a 31 year old photographer from Russia who discovered his love for photography at just 5 years old. Murad has recently taken the internet by storm. His posts on instagram have gone viral, and many have tried to mimic his photos. The particular series I am referring to is the "Follow Me" series in which Murad photographs his girlfriend leading him to exotic places around the world. His photos have a very soft, dreamy look to them almost looking as if they have been painted. They are always incredibly vibrant, with breathtakingly beautiful colors present in his photos. Also present in the photos is a sort of mystery, because we never see the girlfriends face. But possibly the biggest reason that people loved this series is because of the perspective. The viewer gets the feeling that they are right there with them and seeing the same things they are.
