Whatever post he's doing to those photos makes my eyes hurt. I'll give them props for the idea.

I agree with your assessment of the PP. I can't help but think the shots look like composites...

She didn't how horribly ghastly the HDR is. I wouldn't be proud to call any of them my own but it is a nice idea.

The quality of the photography was not why I posted this - I think a theme that is executed on such a vast scale is worthy of consideration and is inspiring to me.

So the ability to travel and a consistent theme equals great photography? A great idea, and opportunity, executed poorly is still poor. The sad part is that the person that does this well has done it second. Being unique and good are separate. To be fair there is a sense of inspiration in the exotic variety of locations BUT this is a small degree more original than the travel gnome or stuffed toy travel pics painted with hideously garish HDR (edit) with some cute girl ass.

It inspires me to send him a tutorial on how to straighten your horizon in Lr... It's a neat idea...just poorly executed...

If the couple were 45 and hefty but it was properly processed I would find it more interesting. We as photographers to aspire to greater images...

Interesting idea or concept for a themed set or album of his travels. Thanks for sharing.

He likely has the traditional shots to go with the set or series of photos.

With the proper processing perhaps if could be a coffee table book of their travels around the world. It certainly if a different perspective of images.

Interesting idea, but I'm not fond of people who over saturate every shot. There's a well known and respected motorsports guy who takes great shots, but butchers them exactly like that in post.

Can't help think that most shots would be better without the out stretched hand or the garish post processing.

She is hot the hairy arm is not. Good concept gone wrong.

If both were 65 it would be a brilliant project in b&w

It is an Instagram series. thus the super funky post work on the shots. all done from a cell phone.

That being said the series is still stunning and very thought provoking.

The theme was a pretty cool idea. Seeing that his GF is a journalist may have given him that opportunity to shoot it such cool places. The HDR was shite.

Perhaps it is just the processing but some of the shots look to be a composite.
