As always, Murad took a camera with him, which he never seems to part with. The young photographer took pictures of many of the sights that Barcelona is so rich in. Natalia, on the other hand, wanted to see more beauties, and she pulled Murad by the hand. He continued filming. This is how the first shot turned out, where Natalia is captured from the back, and in front is one of the architectural monuments of Barcelona.
Looking through the photographs taken in Spain, the couple caught the novelty of the idea, immediately realizing that pictures of this type and format are a new word in photography.

The celebration was unforgettable. Fabulous decorations appeared on the estate during the ceremony: a staircase to the sky, clouds, flocks of birds and a huge Pegasus. All the time there was chamber music from Arfa Sound.
In the first half of the day, the bride wore a dress from a New York designer, and in the second from Russian fashion designer Maria Didarova. In it, Natalya and Murad performed a wedding dance, which they staged.

Natalia from childhood was a mobile and creative person. From the age of 14, she tried her hand at journalism, and she really liked this occupation. Therefore, after graduation, the girl received an appropriate education.
Natalia Osmann took an active part in the launch of various TV projects and blogging portals. But after meeting with a creative union of two creative young people arose. As a result, a common project called “Follow Me” (Follow Me To) appeared, on the development of which Natalia is still working today.
"FollowMeTo"
The creative biography of Natalia Osmann is closely connected with the Follow Me project, which has become the main and favorite thing in her life. The Follow Me To project started with a random shot in Barcelona, Spain. Young man Natalia Murad Osmann is fond of 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 fiddled with the camera, setting it up and looking for the best angle. Natalya pulled his hand, and at that time an interesting picture turned out.
Upon arrival home, young people, looking through the footage, saw this unusual photo. It seemed to them that it might seem interesting not only to them. Soon, Murad and Natalia Osmann added similar ones to the Spanish picture, but from other countries.
Not much time passed, and the followers of the page of Natalya Osman and her young man became first tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands of people. They now have over 4 million followers on their page.
As Natalya Osmann shared in one of her interviews, it only seems that she and Murad do nothing, but only carelessly travel around the world. In fact, behind beautiful pictures there is a lot of work, exhausting many hours of flights and long preparations for the trip. You need to plan a route, find a colorful costume, find a good guide. These duties were taken over by Natalia Osmann.
Often a couple in search good shot gets into hard-to-reach places. Often they are forbidden to outsiders, and the police drive the uninvited guests away. It happens that for the sake of a picture, Natalia Osmann changes clothes in any weather. Or, as in Singapore, filmed in the pool in winter. Indeed, at other times of the year, this famous swimming pool on the roof of a skyscraper is full of visitors.
Among the #FollowMeTo shots is a photo taken in a helicopter that flies over Los Angeles. To take this photo, the doors had to be removed. At the same time, shoot without insurance, at your own peril and risk.
Natalia Osmann, together with her partner, continues to develop her 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.
