The permanent photogenic person who appears in all the photographs invites you to “follow her” art project “Follow me”. In all the photographs taken by Murad Osmann, we see Natalia Zakharova from the back, holding “her viewer” by the hand, inviting her on an exciting journey. There are so many thematic productions in so many corners of the world, well-designed by the fashion designer, cameraman and the heroine of the photo shoot herself.

What is the secret of the success of the performance, why do others try to repeat it, competing, say, in photo competitions? Perhaps the reason for success is chewing gum for weight loss, and as a result a beautiful figure and a charming image? Perhaps an idea? Of course, the latter played a key role in the success of the project among fans, and simply among those people who love to enjoy creative photographs and enjoy exotic corners of our planet. But still, it was the image and atmosphere that did their job, penetrating deeply into the depths of the aesthetic principles of the contrite viewer. Obviously, the idea cannot be called new, but damn, how deliciously it was presented! Charming Natalie (the wife of photographer Murad Osmann) victoriously attracts the attention of an ever-increasing audience, and the repeating plots of the performance with changing landscapes do not annoy at all, but on the contrary, inspire.

How did it all begin? The young couple went on vacation to Barcelona, where the idea of creating a series of photographs was spontaneously born. Then the project “” appeared. Now Natalya Zakharova and Murad Osmann regularly travel around the world, taking fresh pictures and posting them on Instagram. The number of subscribers to Murad Osmann's account has already exceeded one and a half million people.

According to the star couple, the project has no commercial component. Everything is done solely for the sake of art. Part-time, Murad and Natasha are involved in charity work, advertising watches from the new charity collection of designer Michael Kors. In the future, the couple plans to publish a book with their photographs.

The most significant places for our heroes were Singapore, Spain and New York. Singapore, because they drowned two phones with photographs and reports, Spain, because I remembered the purchased national costume for Natasha, and New York, because I had to inflate a hundred balloons.
The project continues, I’m sure we will return to it again soon...

The early years of Murad Osmann
Murad Osmann was born on May 15, 1985 in the Dagestan city of Kaspiysk. Spending his childhood and youth on the shores of the Caspian Sea, contemplating beautiful natural views, Murad early learned to look at the world creatively. Mountain landscapes and virgin nature always attracted Haussmann, he always sought to capture them.When Murad was 5 years old, the family moved to Moscow. Here the talent of the young artist was revealed in full force. Haussmann discovered the magic of photography. In his youth, he experimented a lot with the camera. After graduating from a Moscow school, his parents sent their son to study in London. There Murad entered the Imperial College to study as a civil engineer.
Professional activities of Murad Osmann
Possessing a creative mind, the idea of working in Murad’s specialty did not appeal to him. So he picked up the camera again and began to create. However, despite the abundance of photo sessions and millions of frames captured, Murad Osmann still does not call himself a professional photographer. He considers photography more of a hobby than a job.After returning from the UK to Russia, in 2011 Murad opened his own production company in Moscow called Hype Production.
"Hype Production" is a young company of creative professionals that works in the field of television, creating commercials and music videos. The company has a huge number of diverse projects in the field of media production. "Hype Production" cooperates with both local and international customers. Nike, Beeline, Martini, McDonalds, Huawei, Rostelecom, Baileys, Yota, Visa, PSBank, Lego, KFC, Orion Express - these and many other companies are customers of Hype Production.
Also, the professionals of the Hype Production team have shot many videos for such performers as Dima Bilan, Timati, Sensei, Mumiy Troll, Vlad Sokolovsky, MakSim, Noggano, Max Korzh, Lumen and others. “Hype Production” also has a lot of professional advertising photo shoots with the participation of stars.
In addition, the company does not stand still and is engaged in producing young directors and searching for new talents. Now such producers and directors as Egor Abramenko, Oleg Trofim, Ilya Naishuler, Mikhail Lokshin, Roman Zhirnikh and others work together in a team with Osmann.
Murad Osmann and the “Follow Me” project
The point of the project is that Osmann films the back of his girlfriend Natalia, who travels around the world. Behind her are various landscapes of world attractions of various countries. 
The first image was taken in Barcelona, Spain in the fall of 2011. As Murad said, completely by accident: during one of the excursions, he photographed the surrounding landscapes. The girl Natalya, who accompanied him on the trip, got tired of waiting for the always busy young man and she pulled him by the hand. However, even then Murad did not give up and continued to take photographs. So, the first photo from a wonderful series appeared. While looking through the pictures, Murad and Natalya “caught” the idea of creating an interesting photo project. Since the guys love to travel a lot, very soon their collection of photographs grew to the size of almost a photo exhibition.
Now the couple thinks through the composition of all new photographs together. Murad and Natalya have already visited and photographed places such as Venice, Tokyo, Paris, Bali, London, Singapore and many others. All places in the photographs are easily recognizable.
Follow me - Murad Osmann
Over time, Murad Osmann began posting photographs on the Internet. In particular, in 2013, his Instagram account gathered several tens of thousands of subscribers, and the name of its owner became known throughout the world. Now Osmann has more than 250 thousand subscribers and fans of his work around the world. Each new frame posted on the Internet is instantly “snatched” on social networks and receives thousands of enthusiastic comments and high ratings. In addition, Murad has a lot of followers who take pictures in this way. Thus, a photo project that was not even planned became a global mainstream.
Personal life of Murad Osmann
Murad is not married, but he has a girlfriend, Natalya Zakharova. She is a journalist and editor-in-chief of the website begoody.ru. She is present in all the photographs of the “Follow Me” project. True, her face is almost never visible, always only her back. 
In July 2014, Murad proposed to his girlfriend as part of his famous Follow Me project by posting a photo of his engagement. In an hour, he received 100 thousand likes. The girl agreed.
Murad Osmann today
Now Murad is preparing another Internet photo project. His goal: to once again show the beauty of our planet and the people who live on it - everyone is different, but each is interesting in its own way.Volgograd residents gladly supported the famous Follow Me project. Look what they did!
Maria Bredneva, 31 years old, Andrey Brednev, 34 years old
How long in a relationship: We've been in a relationship for 9.5 years now.
Probably the most romantic memory can be called a vacation in the snow-capped mountains of the Elbrus region, where we spent a whole week not in a hotel, but in a well-equipped campsite, around a fire, in wooden houses... One morning I heard a song in English, it sounded clumsy and funny, but it was very sweet and pleasant, because Andrei did not know English and could not know it. And as it turned out, I had been learning some romantic song all week.
He spoils me more than I spoil him. He loves to cook for the two of us, gives me a massage whenever I ask, sometimes he himself shows a desire, buys me my favorite sweets/chocolates and does not refuse to buy me dresses... He also knows what kind of flowers I like, and not just flowers , but he also knows the color of his favorite flowers and, accordingly, from time to time he buys them for me just like that. Loves to have picnics and bubble baths.
And the support is This is the most important thing in our life, we can’t live without it. If something doesn’t work out for me, he will try to help me - with advice, action or just consolation. He will always sympathize with me, if I feel bad, if I’m sad, he’ll cheer me up, if I’m sick, he’ll heal me. He is my doctor, psychoanalyst, and universal assistant in all matters and endeavors. I try to answer him in kind, although he rarely needs my help, but I always take part in all his affairs in one way or another. And, naturally, the best doctor, cook and psychologist for him is me!
Favorite places to relax. We have several favorite places to relax, both in our city and beyond. For example, in the city we love to sit together under our tree across the Volga - we have one unique place, far from human eyes and city noise. We often visit the skating rink together and parks. It's nice to take a walk in the evening, inhaling the autumn scent of fallen leaves. We also love to relax in the Stavropol region, in the North Caucasus. The most favorite places are Pyatigorsk, Kislovodsk, Yesentuki, Zheleznovodsk. And our favorite grotto named after Lermontov, Mount Mashuk.
To be honest, we rarely take just such shots, it was just interesting to experiment and try a new, quite popular direction in the field of photography.

How do you pamper and support each other? We pamper each other with our attention and never experience a lack of it from each other. This is probably the most pleasant thing that can happen in a relationship, especially for married people. Pleasant surprises are no exception, of course, but that’s not the main thing. Supporting each other in professional or personal moments is, of course, very important, but without a sense of humor there is no place here. Fortunately, we are on the same wavelength on this. We always try to strengthen each other’s faith in ourselves, and this really helps, we analyze each other’s actions and suggest how it would be better. From the outside it’s clearer.
Favorite places to relax. Favorite places to relax depend rather on your mood. Sometimes these are ancient European cities, where you can see architecture, painting, and visit exhibitions and galleries. Sometimes - the sea, the beach, a relaxed atmosphere around. Lately we have begun to like mountains and everything connected with them. In general, the place is not important, what matters is with whom!

In a relationship: 2 years.
Your most romantic memory.
Anastasia: One day I was at home with my friend and parents, they rang the bell at our door and gave us a box... It wasn’t me who opened the door, they had already brought it to my room, and we were just confused - what it was, where it came from, from whom... In general, We opened the box, and there was a bunch of newspapers, and in it was a book, some notes. In the end it turned out to be a quest. In real life, tips were written on different pages on where to go and how to act step by step. All the questions concerned me primarily, and only I knew the answers to them; the rest would have broken their heads over such puzzles. We went out into the entrance, riddles, clues, codes were there, then we went out into the street at night and went through all the last stages to solve the code. In the end, we solved the code, the doorbell rang again, and my Nikita was already standing there with a bouquet of roses and a gift. All this was done just to please me, and not in honor of any date.
Or there was a day when I was at another dance training session. Nikitka came to pick me up, and we ended up staying there until the morning, as we danced a lot. I taught him bachata, which is a very romantic dance. In our hall we had huge candles placed along the mirrors and walls; we always lit them with the team when we wanted to relax and listen to pleasant music or for stretching. And these candles came in handy for our decor. It was just a flower-candy period when we were just getting to know each other.
How do you pamper and support each other? He gives me flowers and sweets, pleasant little things. We often have dinner by candlelight, when I cook a super delicious dinner, we chat a lot and share what happened during the day, what worries us or, on the contrary, makes us happy. We love to travel around the city together, listen to the radio, sing and dance, and again talk a lot. We released lanterns into the sky and went to a cafe. Everything is banal.
Favorite places to relax. So far Adler, we really liked it there. In general, we love outdoor recreation - water parks and attractions.
Follow Me style photos for you are... a universally interesting project and a desire to show the whole world how you and your soul mate go through life, wherever fate takes you.

Murad Osmann (29)
@muradosmann - 2 million followers on Instagram
photographer, producer (production company Hype Production).
Natalya Zakharova (28)
@yourleo - 400 thousand followers on Instagram
TV presenter, editor-in-chief of a lifestyle website begoody.ru .
About everyday life:
Murad. Our day goes like this. I wake up, go for a run and exercise. And Natasha sleeps until lunchtime.
Natasha. It is not true!
Murad. Okay... I do good deeds. Every morning - for a good deed. And Natasha is preparing a giant breakfast.
Natasha. But this is the true truth. It is very difficult for us to wake up early because we go to bed late. But we try to spend breakfast together, because our next meeting will take place only late in the evening.
Natasha. I absolutely love cooking. I’m also doing something called a power plate. And, of course, yoga.
Murad. And I love to swim.
About his popularity:
Murad. When people recognize us - and more often this happens abroad - Natasha gets more pleasure than I do. We take this calmly. The fact that our project from Russia is still positively perceived throughout the world is encouraging.
Natasha. There were no goals initially, since we did not plan to do something that everyone would like. We did this project for ourselves and now we are incredibly happy that millions of people began to like it. We are followed on Instagram by Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Ivanka Trump...
Favorite photo:
Murad. I love the photo of us by the pool with the inflatable duck. It was made two years ago in Singapore.
Natasha. And for me - a photo in New York from Times Square. Tiffany is nearby - beauty... And in general, I really love New York! I would like to live in America.
Murad. We recently took a photo straight from a helicopter. It turned out very extreme: they removed the doors and leaned out during the flight.
Funny case:
Natasha. All funny things are connected with dressing up. There was such a case in the Amazon: we sailed on a special wooden boat. I had to change clothes in some terrible place - it wasn’t even a toilet, but some kind of shed standing between the Amazon and the jungle. I wore a tight evening dress with sequins. Local residents were shocked. In general, we always make a strange impression: Murik has ten cameras around his neck, and I walk around the forests in chic dresses.
Development ways:
Murad. Asia is another new market for us. We need to move to China, Japan, Korea - they are absolutely crazy! If they are involved in something, including the media, it reaches the point of fanaticism, but positive. We are incredibly interested in creative projects. There were also good videos with Google and with Nike, where Levan (L’One) starred.
About difficulties:
Natasha. I have had dyslexia since childhood. So it was generally contraindicated for me to engage in journalism. But overcoming difficulties is great. And I can do it.
About love and relationships:
Natasha. I always knew that love is only love at first sight. There can be no other way. When Murad appeared, harmony appeared. Before Murad and I started dating, we just talked for six months. He is calm, but I am always very emotional. And this “saves” us.
Murad. I just flare up in a second like a match, and a moment later I’m kind again! I quickly forget negative situations.
About romance:
Natasha. Murad bought a ring and spent six months thinking about how to propose to me, how to surprise me. And when we were standing on some stunning cliff in Asia, I thought: “Now he’s going to propose to me!” But that didn’t happen... And he really surprised me. We came to my parents. We sit down to dinner, he drinks - for courage, apparently. He gets up and starts talking. And I’m sitting in a home sweater, chewing... And then it dawns on me - he’s proposing to me. I didn't expect this at all. Of course, she agreed immediately.
Recipe for success:
Murad. The most important advice for those who want to succeed in anything, including Instagram, is to do everything from the heart, from the bottom of your heart. The point is not to chase likes or subscribers. People love sincerity, even on social networks.
Natasha. It is important to understand that you make your life yourself, without looking up to anyone. And you don't need to be afraid of mistakes. In fact, the coolest thing is when someone writes: “This photo is now my favorite!”
Who inspires:
Natasha. Basically, we subscribe to profiles that inspire and lift our spirits, thanks to which we can stock up on a huge number of cool ideas. These are usually creative people, travelers, art workers, for example: @nois7, @humansofny, @juspa
Murad. We shot Versace Maison for Art Basel in Miami. We are also planning to launch a series of travel films soon.
How to get to know us:
Murad. This is quite easy to do. We always try to answer all letters and respond to interesting offers.
Natalya Aleksandrovna Zakharova, who is better known to many of us as Natalya Osmann, was born in Potsdam in September 1986. Some time after the birth of their daughter, the Zakharov family returned to Russia. It is known that Natalia Osmann’s parents now live in Izhevsk.
Since childhood, Natalya has been an active and creative person. From the age of 14 she tried her hand at journalism, and she really liked this activity. Therefore, after graduating from school, the girl received an appropriate education.
Natalya Osmann took an active part in the launch of various television projects and blogging portals. But after meeting each other, a creative union of two creative young people arose. As a result, a common project appeared called “Follow Me To”, the development of which Natalya is still working on today.
"FollowMeTo"
The creative biography of Natalia Osmann is closely connected with the “Follow Me” project, which became the main and favorite thing in her life. The “Follow Me To” project began with a random photo in Barcelona, Spain. Natalia Murad Osmann's boyfriend is interested in photographing beautiful places. He travels everywhere with a camera. This happened in that memorable 2011, when the couple arrived in Spain.
The girl wanted to see as many local attractions as possible, but Murad habitually tinkered with the camera, setting it up and looking for a favorable angle. Natalya pulled his hand, and at that time an interesting photo was taken.
Upon arrival home, the young people, looking through the footage, saw this unusual photo. It seemed to them that it might be interesting not only to them. Soon Murad and Natalya Osmann added similar ones to the Spanish photo, but from other countries.
Not much time passed, and first tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands of people became followers of the page of Natalia Osman and her young man. Now there are already more than 4 million subscribers on their page.
As Natalya Osmann shared in one of her interviews, it only seems that she and Murad are doing nothing but carelessly traveling around the world. In fact, behind beautiful photographs there is a lot of work, grueling long flights and long preparation for the trip. You need to plan your route, find a colorful costume, and find a good guide. Natalya Osmann took on these responsibilities.
Often a couple, in search of a good shot, climbs into hard-to-reach places. Often they are prohibited for outsiders, and the police drive away uninvited guests. It happens that for the sake of a photo Natalya Osmann changes clothes in any weather. Or, as in Singapore, it is filmed in a swimming pool in winter. After all, at other times of the year this famous swimming pool on the roof of a skyscraper is full of visitors.
Among the #FollowMeTo pictures is a photo taken in a helicopter flying over Los Angeles. The doors had to be removed to take this photo. At the same time, shoot without insurance, at your own peril and risk.
Natalya Osmann and her partner continue to develop their favorite project. Recently, young people presented their first book called #FOLLOWMETO, where they not only posted a photo report about their travels, but also entertaining stories about them. The texts, as befits a real journalist, were written by Natalya Osmann.
In development of the first project, the couple presented a second one, for which they created another account on Instagram. Here are collected photographs of interesting people whom the couple met on their travels, as well as stories about them. In addition to the well-known photo project, Natalya Osmann is busy developing a new TV show about travel, in which she will appear as a freelance journalist.
Personal life
Natalya Zakharova met her future husband Murad on his initiative. One day, a photographer friend and friend of the girl told her that one of her colleagues wanted to take some pictures of her. She agreed. This is how a fragile blond girl and a handsome dark man with oriental eyes met. Their love flared up immediately. The couple never separated again. The common project in which both take part brought the young people together even stronger.
As it turned out after the meeting, the young people lived almost nearby, on Frunzenskaya Embankment. A year later, Natalya and Murad began to live together. In 2015 they got married. The wedding ceremony took place in the Moscow region and was very spectacular. Later, Natalya Osmann, when asked why the ceremony was held not on some exotic island, but in her country of residence, admitted that Russia is a place of power for her.
The dress that Natalia Osmann wore at the wedding ceremony was made in New York by the famous fashion designer. For the Russian customer, Wong even slightly changed her sketch, which she does extremely rarely. There was also a second dress from the Russian designer Svetlana Kushnerova, sewn according to her sketch in Paris by tailors of the legendary Chanel brand.
The couple spent their honeymoon in the Maldives. But this happened after the second wedding, which took place in the groom’s homeland in Dagestan. Now the personal life of Natalia Osmann is her beloved husband and the expectation of the biggest miracle that every woman craves.
