short biography
Murad Osmann is a producer hailing from Kaspiysk (Republic of Dagestan). He founded his production company Hype Production in 2011, immediately after graduating from college in London. In an interview, Murad repeatedly mentioned that despite the specialty of a civil engineer, he was always drawn into a creative channel. During his studies in England, the future photographer repeatedly tried to enter the London College of Fashion (London College of Fashion), but always was refused. Unsuccessful attempts led to the fact that Murad began to independently learn the art of photography.
“I don’t think we are famous”
The popular FollowMeTo project has more than 5 million subscribers worldwide. Amazing photos from all over the world attract attention with their mystery. "Follow me!" - literally screams every work. A mysterious elegant girl who does not show her face leads the photographer’s hand and with it all the spectators.
Over the entire existence of the unique project, Murad has faced both exciting popularity and condemnation, which literally suppressed the photographer’s desire to give up his venture. The first year was the hardest, but the couple withstood the pressure and now “Follow me” is used as an example for training students at the London Fashion College, where, incidentally, Murad tried to enter more than once.
How it all began
Neither Murad Osmann, nor his assistant Natalia Zakharova planned this project. They repeatedly talk about this in their interviews. Everything happened absolutely spontaneously, this greatly changed the lives of young people. The first photo was taken in Spain, when Murad “clicked” the shutter for his personal portfolio and accidentally caught the famous frame. Thanks to the embarrassment and playfulness of Natalia, who turned away at the right time and right time, pulling the photographer's hand, the idea of the famous project “Follow me” came up.
Murad Osmann did not send the first works to the editorial offices of magazines, but simply posted them in his personal Instagram profile. Even at the time of his stay in Spain, the photographer took several similar shots in order to learn the technique of this style, find a composition and catch the light. One of the famous works of Murad was made in Barcelona, where Natalia pulls the photographer to the door, decorated with bright graffiti.
Wedding with Natalia Zakharova
Murad and Natalia Osmann began their journey more as partners than as lovers. At first, there were no thoughts about relationships, so in “Follow Me” Murad was a producer, director and photographer, and Natalya Zakharova was an actress and model. Fans who watched the fate of the project and its participants were pleasantly stunned by the news that the couple were engaged. A significant day came on June 7, 2015 - it will forever be remembered by all guests of the wedding celebration.
The wedding of Murad and Natalia Osmann was held in the chic castle Zhavoronki Event Hall, which is located just 20 km from Moscow. The festival was everything from chamber music and carpet paths to delicious snacks and sophisticated outfits. Despite the warmth and love that the newlyweds radiated, they managed to please their fans with another photograph from the “Follow me” series, which was shot in real time from the wedding celebration.
