Murad Osmann’s #FollowMeTo Series

Just a while back, I came across this image by Murad Osmann as I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram (naturally as one does), and it piqued my interest. I mean first of all, without any prior knowledge whatsoever, I was taken aback by the visually stunning photograph itself just right off the bat. Then as I observed the picture in more detail, it left me thinking, wait, hang on, where are they shooting this from? And as I read the caption, it mentioned… a helicopter without doors! Apparently such things exist! So I decided to check out Osmann’s profile and found that he and his girlfriend (now wife) Nataly Osmann started a series titled ‘#FollowMeTo…’ about 10 years ago—which still continues on until this very day,—and it’s basically a compilation of the same format of photos; him holding her hand with her back facing the camera (as seen in the images below).

I’ve also noticed that he posts not only photos but also videos in the #FollowMeTo series, although I’m pretty sure that his images gain more traction since that’s what the series started with, and the videos are a more recent addition. Nevertheless, I’m keen on knowing more about him and his work as either a photographer or filmmaker (if you can even call him that).
